Deep Sadness

Three fates, three voices, three lives – of two men and one woman – that intersect and diverge in the flow of time. This story is a journey into the labyrinths of the human soul, where silence speaks louder than... words, memories become ghosts, and forgotten promises are shadows that haunt the night. What compels us to return again and again to the past, which brings only pain? How far can one run from memories if they live within us? There are no simple answers here — only an understanding that some stories never end, but simply grow into deep sadness. Shin Kyungsook is one of the most influential contemporary writers in South Korea, a laureate of numerous literary awards. In 2012, she became the first woman to receive the Man Asian Literary Prize (also known as the 'Asian Booker') for her novel 'Please Look After Mom'. Her work is known for its deep insight into the psychology of characters and masterful descriptions of human emotions.
