CONTENT WARNING: Transphobia
Myung is a transgender who cut ties with her family and hometown because of who she is. Now, all she needs is the surgery but the only way to earn money, by winning the Waacking dance competition, didn’t go well. One day, she receives a call that her father passed away and Myung finds out that her father left a will that he will give her the legacy if she performs Drum Dance during his 49th memorial ritual. With no choice left, Myung goes back to her hometown to perform according to her father’s will.
This film is presented in Korean with English subtitles.
This Korean film explores queerness in many ways, but one of the coolest ways is how Myung, our trans lead, explores her queerness with dance, specifically waack. Also this film has a story line about queer elders being there for the next generation and that always gets us teary eyed.
