Treeless Mountain / So Yong Kim

Jin, a bright-eyed six-year-old, lives with her mother and little sister, Bin, in a cramped apartment in Seoul. When their mother decides to go look for their estranged father, Jin and Bin are forced to stay with their aunt in a small town for the summer. But after their aunt loses her house, the girls flee to the country, to the farm owned by their grandparents. It is through this journey of abandonment that the two sisters come together and learn the importance of family bonds.
