Osan City on the outskirts of Seoul is well known for the Osan American Military Base first established there during the Korean War. In this film, eleven local women perform with abandoned buildings and vacant lots – easily found in Osan City – in the background.

The 5 dance-film works were made in Busan, Osan, Daejeon, Cheolwon DMZ and Yangpyeong, Korea with the local middle-aged women. The project started from the interest towards my mother generation. Women from my mother generation, who were born right after the Korean War, have married via 'seon (meeting each other with a view to marriage)' and have sacrificed themselves towards their husbands and children. Even after menopause and having their children married, a number of them still earn bread for their families.

Women, who are still comfortable being called as someone's wife or someone's mom, have found 'beautiful' themselves, despite the fact it was only temporary. Some were happy as if they were children, and some wept with their mind deeply touched. For the past year, through my project, I have met with total of 100 women who are at the age between 50 and 60. For a few days to a few months, I have worked with them together, and, as my project came to an end, we cried together feeling sorrow. Through their lives, which lasted with history of Korea for decades, we had a moment to remind ourselves about the lives of our mothers and their generation.
