The Midnight Sun: Records of Sewol Ferry Survivor
The story of Sewol ferry survivor KIM Dong-soo and his family's struggle to overcome trauma.
Ten years have passed since the Sewol ferry disaster. The life of KIM Dong-soo, who came back alive from the disaster, has changed a lot from before.
KIM Dong-soo, who used to live as a truck driver, lost his truck in a disaster and now guards the Hallasan trail everyday. He is repeatedly hospitalized and discharged from the psychiatric ward and suffers from pain all over his body.
Still, he struggles to restore his daily life by participating in the marathon event. KIM Dong-soo's wife, KIM Hyung-sook, and his two daughters support him in his daily life.
The eyes looking at KIM Dong-soo with a desperate expression, asking for help, revive every moment and shake his heart, but he still lives by holding the hands of his family who stand by his side.
Sewol ferry survivor KIM Dong-soo suffers from the guilt of surviving the Sewol ferry every day. However, because he ‘survived’, his suffering has become something that cannot be easily described anywhere. It is his wife and two daughters who are shouldering the daily life of KIM Dong-soo. The moment KIM Dong-soo returned alive, his entire family was destined to be bound inside the Sewol ferry. They have endured for a long time without having time to heal. The documentary The Midnight Sun: Records of Sewol Ferry Survivor examines the pain of KIM Dong-soo's family, which has festered as much as ten years after the disaster, and tries to hear the voices of those who have been erased.
