Sypnosis:

A good wife, a cheating husband, a very sexy family drama...
Hojung (Moon Sori) is a former dancer now settled down to taking care of her precocious 7 year old adopted son Sooin and her eccentric alcoholic father-in-law and a secretive mother-in-law. Her husband Youngjak (Hwang Jungmin), however, is hardly home, too busy with his law pratice, drinking, and seeing his young mistress, Yeon, a former model.

Hojung stays youthful and fit by practicing dance at the local school and bicycling while running her errands. She mostly accepts Youngjak's infidelity but she is getting more and more sexually frustrated to the point that she can't find her G-Spot. When a teenage boy living next door becomes infatuated with Hojung, she is at first curious but then drawn to his attention. Youngjak is not in love with the sexually-free Yeon but when she becomes pregnant, his guilt drives him to spend more time with her.

Then circumstances unfold force Hojung and Youngjak to actions and lead to decisions surprising and unexpected. The father-in-law's liver fails and he enters the hospital with a month to live. Youngjak is out of town with Yeon and on their way back there is an accident. Hojung's liaisons with the teenage boy are found out by the boy's father, and another tragedy occurs.

The family is never the same...

Sypnosis:

"The beauty of digital cinema lies with its ability to bring out the natural acting from the actors who become less camera conscious. It's an effective way to embody realism, much more effective than analog cinema." Tears is a digital movie seeking the realism as the director have stated. The place for such realism is Garibong-dong, a hangout for runaways and/or neglected teens unable to cope with their school lives. These condemned heroes living exile are four kids, Chang, Han, Lan and Sary. Although rebellious and violent in nature, they also seek affection and dream of happiness even living within harsh reality. But can their dreams be seen really as being 'hopeful,' within such despair and void?

Their dreams of escape are shattered as they make their way back to Garibong-Dong. Im Sang-Soo sought the memories of Garibong-Dong kids he got acquainted with while preparing his debut film, writing screenplay while spending past year living among them. Even with his brutal disclosing of their images, as glue snipping foul-mouths who engage in casual sex, the director's tender notions are seen here and there. That begins with naming this feature Tears, a film about kids who refuse to cry.

Sypnosis:

Serial loser Namgung Dal (Namgung is his family name -- unlike most Korean surnames, this one is two syllables long) is a walking disaster. Everything he touches goes wrong, even after enrolling in extensive therapy. Setting off to attend his new high school one morning, all signs point to the likelihood that he will once again be branded as a helpless loser by his fellow students. Sure enough, hardly an hour passes before he insults the toughest kid in the school and is summoned to appear on the roof after classes for a fistfight.
