the long version

Living in the country, Yun-hee is engaged in a solitary struggle. Her two worlds, that of a rural housewife and that of an advocate for equality, are at odds with each other. As her artistic, alcoholic husband increasingly cuts himself off from the world, Yun-hee must find a balance between what is and what could be. The Valley Nearby, by one of South Korea's most popular writers, is a beautiful tale of a woman trying to reconcile cultural tradition with her need for individuality and freedom.
