Laundry (Korean Version)
-
Sensitive, romantic, and affecting, Laundry marks the assured directorial debut of Mori Junichi, who won the Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award for the film. The film stars popular actor Kobuzuka Yosuke (Ping Pong) as a simple-minded, but kindhearted man; Koyuki (The Last Samurai) co-stars as a troubled young woman. When these two lonely souls meet up, they find courage to face life's gentle tragedies together.
Handicapped teenager Teru (Kubozuka Yosuke) has taken care of his grandmother's laundromat ever since childhood. While he delivers cleaned laundry he becomes acquainted with Mizue (Koyuki) who suffers from a failed relationship. She has the bad habit of making up for her lost love by peeking at other people in the shop. After some unfortunate circumstances, the laundromat is closed down. With the passing of his grandmother, Teru is left alone. Teru sadly bids his grandmother a final farewell in the company of Mizue, both having tasted life's tragic turns time and time again.
