A Yellow Bird

Recently released from prison, Siva works part time at funerals while searching for his wife and daughter, who left him shortly after he was put away. In spite of his desperate efforts, no one, including his own mother, is willing to help him look for them. With difficulty, he finds his sister-in-law and learns that his wife has remarried. Despite this, he doesn't give up, and leaves his mother's house, filled with tenants with whom even communication is arduous. He befriends Chen Chen, a young single mother who works with him and engages in prostitution to make ends meet, and she suggests that he become her bodyguard when she meets her clients. A revealing film about one man's pain and anger, a man whose fate forces him to live as an outsider. (Busan International Film Festival)
