Kita no kuni kara 2002 yuigon (2002) - full transcript
In my dream,
I saw my mother.
Lashes Hair
It was my mother.
Her hair.
Her walk.
Even her shadow.
Mother?
But I've never seen
my mother's face before.
They said my mother's
eyelashes were long.
That's why my sisters'
eyelashes were long, too.
I resemble my father.
The only person who
remembers my mother's face
is my father.
Mother.
They said my mother
had a mental illness.
My eldest sister
died in a car accident.
Could it be my mother's fault?
My mother and father divorced,
and I don't know what
my mother looks like.
The only person who
knows my mother's face
is my father.
My daughter.
I thought my daughter
resembled my wife.
But my father said
she looked like my mother.
Whether I like it or not,
I'm taking after my father.
In my dream...

All of what I am has neither
crack, scratch nor speck.
From Kim Hyun-seung's poem,
Tears
A Drop of Clear Salty Liquid
Tears just came out.
Tears just came out?
Yeah, tears came out,
I'm telling you.
That's impossible.
It's because of a guy, huh?
I don't even
have a boyfriend.
- Then how?
- I don't know.
Then did dust
get into your eyes?
(Bak Mee-sun,18, student)
Everyone and I was shocked
cause it was a first.
I think they said
they were shocked, too.
(Yoon Hyae-mi, 18, classmate)
Some girls imitated her
to get the teacher's attention.
Well, since she seems
different from us.
Some girls said
she's a crazy bitch.
So it doesn't mean that
I'm weak or very lonely.
And it's not like
I cry at the movies either.
I'm just a normal guy.
Somebody bothering you?
No.
Then is it your test results?
No.
Then why did you cry?
(Lee Sung-min, 37,
School Counselor)
Wouldn't it be because of stress?
But stress doesn't
just come out of nowhere.
There's no cure at the moment.
Have to be stronger.
No.
Then why did you cry?
Why are the lessons
so expensive?
Do I have to
send him this month?
Tell me so I can understand.
He'll come home early.
Because of his fit
this morning.
- Something wrong at home?
- No.
So why the hell did you cry?
At first,
I thought people would see,
so I wore sunglasses.
I didn't know
when it would stop,
but I couldn't just
wear it all the time.
So people I knew
eventually found out.
Others were more worried
and agitated than I was.
(Nam Hyun-woo, 62,
security guard)
They said medicine would help,
but I guess it didn't.
- Have a nice day.
- You too.
They said, how could we send
that crying girl outside?
That's how they
grieved their misfortune.
Something's wrong at school?
If so, her homeroom teacher
Would've said something.
So what's wrong with her?
So what's wrong with her?
Go to the school tomorrow.
What about the hospital?
What about the hospital?
Then go to the
hospital first, okay?
Go to the hospital, okay?
It's the discharge
in your tear ducts.
Medicine will make it better.
I hate it when people
treat me as a strange person.
Thank goodness the hospital
cared for me a lot.
I always took the
medicine they gave me.
It's probably in the records.
(Bak Mee-gyung, 35, School Nurse)
Where was it?
Here it is.
She only came twice.
She just laid here and left.
The other time
she brought her medicine,
took it, laid down, and left.
(Yeo Mee-jung, 33,
apartment resident)
I'm not too sure.
- Did you hear about her?
- About who?
- A girl that keeps crying.
- Don't know her.
Well, I'm not too sure.
Strange, I would've heard it.
No, I don't know her.
But...
The tears still came out.
It's really strange.
This high school girl saw me,
and she cried.
I rode on the subway,
and the tears came out again.
But the girl across from me
looked at me
and tears came down.
Without a doubt,
she was looking at me.
I probably can't sleep today.
I feel strange.
I took the medicine
for a few days,
but the tears still came.
So I hated to
ride on the subway.
Even if I think about
all the eyes looking at me,
it's very horrifying.
But there was
a weird occurence.
Tears fell again,
and a man across from me
was looking at me,
and he started to cry.
Without a doubt,
he cried because
of looking at me.
All of what I am has neither
crack, scratch nor speck.

It's hot.
What?
The toilet seems to be broken.
So is the air conditioner.
Nothing works in here.
What are you looking at?
Dumps always have
stupid mirrors on the ceiling.
I'm never coming here again.
What's wrong?
I'm not on my period,
but weird puss keeps coming out.
Why does it keep happening?
Go to the hospital.
They said nothing's wrong.
Because it's hot, that's why.
Don't you think so?
So-mee.
Your eye's bloodshot.
No, the other one.
If I look at you directly,
your left is my right.
The bed must be really dusty.
I'm allergic to dust.
Did you just say I'm immature?
What makes you so mature then?
The mike isn't working.
- Lady, I'd like to park.
- I did my best.
Hey lady! Hey lady!
- Can't she hear me?
- What's wrong with her?
Look here, lady!
What's up with her now?
Why doesn't she behave?
I said move.
- Think I need you for a job?
- Get back to work.
Hey, the mike isn't working!
Hey!
Lady, move so I can park.
Mister, you can't park here.
Move back.
What are you doing?
- We got permission to be here.
- Permission from whom?
Move your car first.
You can't park here.
Why not?
It's dangerous.
You're pissing me off.
Yes.
The money?
Yes, I just checked.
Yes?
What job is it?
So all I do is stand?
Hello?
I can't hear you so well.
I'll call you back later.
Welcome.
Please come again.
Look at that.
It's pretty.
Is she on her period?
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
She can't hear us.
Why doesn't she look?

Mister, tell me a fun story.
I hear wind
coming from the vent.
The dust becomes the wind
and flies into space.
I'm moving to a new planet.
It's fine.
Everything is fine.
Father.
I have to go now.
Congratulations on being
a migrant to a new planet.
Finding everything okay?
I'm pleased to see you again.
It's area four's first coach,
so maybe that's why it's hotter.
Asides from that,
any other inconveniences?
Want me to take your baggage?
That's okay.
I'd like to leave it here.
If you need anything,
ask our crew.
When do we depart?
In just a moment.
Please wait a little longer.
If you're bored, would you
like to greet the others?
Okay, thank you.
Father.
Father!
When they had
weddings long ago,
they set the date
based on the lunar calendar,
so my mother didn't know
her wedding anniversary.
What my mother remembers
is that on her wedding day
even though it was a hot summer,
there was a very cool breeze.
Afterwards,
that was how I was born.
You can put your bag
in front of the seat.
Mister.

Now, just pick it up.
Mme., see once and choose out!
There are many good fish here.
Pick pick pick it up, Mme.!
Just see once and choose out, Mme.
It is the best of the coolest
because the fish came in
right this day, you see?
You shouldn't touch like that, please.
It could get spoiled, Mme..
It's a living creature and
it's so sensitive.
So please don't touch. OK?
What do you use it for? What?
Just for any way of cooking.
For steamed cooking,
the fish there is good.
For a baked cooking,
broiled mackerel is delicious.
Well, what cooking are you
going to use it for, Mme.?
Is it possible for anybody
to love?
Mister.
Yes?
Mister, how is this used?
Excuse me?
I am wondering if it came in
right this morning... What is it?
How does it cook?
Please give it to me.
Take it and just broil it, Mme.
Oh, that thing over there?
If you get that one,
then I will give you one more.
No, not that one..
the thing beside it!
And if you bake and eat that one,
you will get a very good energy.
Just give me one.
Alright, go ahead.
Give me the best one.
OK!
I will trim the fish for you.
Yes, go ahead
and take care, old man.
Oh no, you are still doing
like that?
In case you are not buying it,
what are you doing there
fumbling with it on and on?
You see, it could go bad
and worse in touching
like that for so long!
In your case, do you think
you'll buy it then?
This smells terrible and
looks rotten..?
What? How come you say that way,
telling me this stuff is rotten!
This came in right this morning.
Don't you see,
this looks so strong and healthy.
In case you don't buy it, then
you just go away to another place.
How much...?
- Mister?
- Just give me 3 thousand won.
Microorganisms eat the sea and
mackerels eats microorganisms
Sharks eat mackerels
and I eat sharks
Then the sea eats me
and sharks eat me
And mackerels eat me and
microorganisms eat me
The sea eats me
and I eat the sea
The sea is eaten by me and
I am eaten by the sea
Mister, how much could you
cut down on the price?
Oh well.. then
just give me 2800 won, okay?
Oh no..
Whew, such a lady!

Call me 016-570-4919
Hello, go ahead. Hello.
Well... hello?
Yes. Yes, go ahead, hello?
I am calling you after seeing the ad
on the restroom wall, sir.
Where are you? Who are you
looking for? Hey, Hello?
Hey! Why are you hanging up?
Well. These days, the phone number
is easily checked,
the number who called remains
on the phone terminal, you know?
Pardon, sir.
Well, minutes ago,
where did you say you called?
I just saw the sticker
on the restroom...
Is this agent Yu?
- How old are you?
- I am not twenty yet, sir.
What made you try to call us?
Sure, sir.
Well, you should know this.
You cannot do it right away
even if you want it.
First, you have to check
your physical health condition.
In that case, it is you who has
to take charge of it.
And in that case, we take 20% off.
Well, I see..
you look young yet..
My father is sick.
He is sick in a hospital.
- It is because of the operation charges...
- You are so dutiful..
Well, we can lend you
some health check-up charges.
And later after
a successful operation,
there are some ways we can
take off the commission and interest.
Which way do you like?
Do you like it?
Yes, sir.
Then the rest of the story had better wait
until we see each other. Where are you?
Here is... a restroom
in the public park.
What? Well then, by any chance is it
the park in the Yeongdeongpo station!
Yes, sir.
Oh, yes. This is funny!
I am there too, me too!
I didn't even know
we are in the same area.
Wait, I will go right away!
Come on out right away!
Yes, sir.
Just a moment please, Sir.
Sir..
Sir?
Wa.. Wait, sir.. please.. sir..
