Josée (2020) - full transcript

A story that depicts the brightest moments of Josee and Young-Seok. Josee has a physical disability and lives in her own world. Young-Seok enters her world.

I was born in Budapest in 1987

Ah, really? Amazing!

Have you ever been to Budapest?

No, I've only heard of his name

In 1981, my mom and dad first met in Berlin

Then it was during this time that I was born in Budapest

I have lived in a world that you wouldn't even be able to imagine

This is where my journey stops and now I am resting

When I stay still and look at the world outside, I find my long journey very beautiful

Josee - Translated by Hafsah Nurbait

Are you ok? Let me help



Wait a minute, please

Sit on this chair

Are you ok?

Help me to sit there

Okay, I'll help

Never mind, now you can go

Excuse me, I'm a student around here and you know I shop here a lot, don't you?

Can I borrow the cart that's over there? I promise I'll return it soon

Pay 5,000 won

Ah, alright

Why are you like this?

There is a crazy man who wants to harass me

I tried to run away

What is he trying to harass you for?



Is he the one?

No - / No, he was the one helping me

Sorry, it's not that hard for me. / It's not that hard what? Come on, follow me

Sorry, please help me get out of this wheelchair

Yes

I'll say goodbye to go home

Don't go, let's eat first.

This is all I can do to repay you

Please eat

Okay, I'll eat.

Enjoy your meal.

Why are you eating like that?

You're afraid I poisoned you, right?

That is how it is ...

our first meeting.

Is it true?

Then, please buy one milk for me

Okay, okay.

Young Seok, let's wake up!

This is bad,

my beloved will come here soon

Do you want to meet him?

Incidentally he said he was still in the parking lot, so I told him to buy milk.

He will come here soon, because the shop is not far from the parking lot.

Hey!

Yes?

I want to tell you that the zipper of your bag is open

thank you

Your class is over?

Alright. How about you? Do you have class?

Yes, there is still 1 more course.

Seriously? Do you have more class?

I rarely go to college so that's how it is, I still have to contract more courses. I just want to skip it.

Do not be lazy! You have to graduate quickly

You just came home right away, Senior? [Seonbae: senior]

Hah? No, why go straight home

Good afternoon, Prof.

Good afternoon too, Soo Kyung and Young Seok

Josee, feed him

Who is the kid and boy in this photo?

He's my father

Father?

Yes

And the little child he hugged was me

I was born in Budapest

But your faces don't look alike

Because ...

My face is more like Mom, so it doesn't look like a foreigner

Welcome. - I'll have two glasses of americano

So,

The grandmother worked as a scavenger and picked up used goods.

I couldn't possibly let him do it himself, even though I saw it

So yes, I helped him

Do you know? The wagon is very heavy

I really have a very noble heart, right?

What is it? Tacky you know!

It is not like that,

Anyway, I managed to help the grandmother get to her house and finally met the woman again.

Oh, I see.

But that woman always uses informal language when talking to me.

How old is he?

Later I will also use informal language when talking to him

Her life must have been very hard working to pick up used goods

No, he has a house. There's another page too.

The important thing is to have a house, you have to be grateful, right?

I ...

I've been a volunteer at a social institution

Because it is a college assignment too, but besides that my aunt also works there

The people in the social care, they are all very kind

Your hands are so white / bang mode /

Soft too

19++ /close your eyes guys/

Eit, can't.

Where is your hometown?

Suncheon

Oh right, Suncheon

This is my first time coming to Goshiwon. The place is really narrow like this, huh? [Goshiwon: a cheap student boarding house]

But yeah even though this place is cheap,

I hope you can live in a more comfortable place

If I have to live in a place that's more expensive than this Goshiwon,

I have to take college leave first

Oh I see

I'll be going now

Sorry, I entered the wrong room.

Why are you there? even though there is a bathroom

I can't stop thinking

So dirty

Wait a minute, Young Seok

Why?

This is a chuseok gift from the manager

Congratulations, he really cares about you.

I don't need this, even though it's just changing money.

Hmm, I just got a shampoo present

Just throw it away if you don't have to

Good,

You have done well!

Yes

I got this gift from someone

If I bring this back home, I'm afraid no one will use it and become trash

Thank you for giving me this trash

That's not what I meant, this item would be useful if used by someone who is good at cooking.

I'll say goodbye to go home

Before going home, eat first.

I'll make food for you soon,

No, it's troublesome later.

Is there anything I can help? [Informal language]

Don't use banmal. Change your way of speaking formally.

Good,

Fry this sausage in a skillet, but make sure the oil in the pan is hot beforehand.

Why are you squatting like that? Are you in the bathroom? Sit comfortably.

Good.

You don't have a cell phone?

No, because I don't need it

I only have a landline.

But if ...

Can the television turn on or not?

When I was little, it was on

Please try eating this first?

Hope it tastes good

Be careful, it's still hot

But, may I know what your name is?

Josee,

What?

My name is Josee

Call me Josee.

Oh, I see ...

Josee?

Ah, why can't you?

You came here just to fix that?

Actually, the main problem was the wheels, but apparently there were other parts that were damaged.

Usually I'm good at fixing things like this, but ...

But this time I couldn't fix it.

Today I can't feed you, because you don't work anything.

Hey,

Look at that.

Would you please get me a transparent bottle between the empty drink bottles.

This whiskey must be really intoxicating.

Though leave a little for me, basic.

What's wrong with this empty bottle that you scold her?

This drink must have a vanilla flavor, almond fragrance, and ...

And a little orange flavor

Wow, there are lots of used bottles here.

Grandma also collected these used books, right?

That's right.

Because people threw away this book ...

Books that are considered trash and thrown away by others, become something useful for me.

Just like the stuff you threw away at me, back then.

010-66817 - ***

This is my number

You can call me when you need someone.

Can I ask you something?

Asking for help?

Please buy me a book.

Judulnya "Do You Like Brahms?" [Like Brahms in korean and Aimez-vous Brahms in france]

I intended to buy a book at that time,

When?

The day I sat falling from a wheelchair on the street.

Even though this is the truth that I will learn later,

Josee is the name of the female lead in the novel.

Josee took the female lead's name, then named himself Josee.

Halo? /

- It's me, Josee.

Oh? yes.

You just need to take this kid out

That child named ...

Young Bong.

Young Bong?

Is there anything I can help?

Is there a kid named Jong Bong?

Who?

Jung Bong

- You wanna die? - What?

[Kwak Cheol Ho]

Hey, it's been a long time since I saw you.

Why isn't it your grandmother and this freak?

Is your grandmother dead?

Why did my grandmother have to die? How is your health condition? [i can't hear properly what they're said]

So what?

Don't eat too much meat

Don't forget to eat propolis too

He said propolis is very good for health

So, in the used books that your grandmother collected, is now someone discussing propolis?

Yes, it is true.

You stupid.

Keep your manners. How dare you say that to your mother who orders to eat healthy food.

What? Why are you also my mother?

Whenever you visit the house, your grandmother's items are damaged and must be repaired.

Please fix it.

Why fix it? Besides, I don't know how to fix it either.

Why do you call yourself her mother?

Why must there be a special reason for being a mother?

Mother is mother.

He is a poor boy.

His mother left him for economic reasons.

Then my father took her home,

From then on I promised to become a mother for him.

Oh, I see. Then is your father different from your father in Budapest?

Yes, different.

Are you an orphan too? Your grandmother said your parents abandoned you.

I'm not an orphan.

My father is a cop in the crime division.

Even though he has now died while on duty to catch the serial killer.

Why do you believe in all that shit?

My grandmother said that because she wanted to fool you. You stupid!

The trees around here are very beautiful.

The color is also very pretty

These leaves are very beautiful, because they fall ...

beautifully ...

and calm down ...

then they died.

I like someone who also likes coffee

I also like someone who enjoys coffee

I would even prefer someone who can know how to taste coffee.

And the person I like the most is the person who asks me for coffee.

Have you been looking for a job?

Yes, I'm still looking for a job.

Oh, I see.

If you want, you can try an internship

In a brand marketing company,

Even though it's not a big company, it's also quite well known.

Is it true?

But that doesn't mean you can immediately intern at the company, you still have to do an interview first.

Even so, the director at that company is a teacher who taught us nine years ago.

He will be very considerate of you.

Is it true? I really thank you.

Please drink

The taste will definitely be very good

and the taste is very soft.

Ah, really?

What are you doing?

I'm working on an assignment from Professor Choi. Oh, I see.

For thesis research, huh? / Yes, that's it.

He always told students to do his research.

Don't you mind? And now you do it again.

Not for a thesis, but just a regular research article. However Professor Choi is very nice to me.

It's also thanks to doing this that I'm learning more.

Yes, he also offers you a place to work on condition that you do all of this.

This coffee is really good

- Where did you buy this coffee? - I got it from the vending machine.

Oh, I see.

I don't understand how to fix it.

Yes?

Just leave it there, then I'll fix it slowly.

Have you eaten?

He is indeed a strange child

He always lies and fantasizes strange things, then thinks all his imagination is reality.

We both live in the same orphanage.

She was at the orphanage before I came. So, she's my senior.

He was abandoned by his parents since he was a child.

I really hate the word mother, so usually I always hit the whiny kids who were calling out for their mother.

But who knows since when, suddenly he said that she is my mother. You are crazy.

The head of our orphanage is a little crazy and cruel.

When Josee was 10 years old, he put insecticide in the head of the orphanage.

Then the head of the orphanage is taken to the ER, and Josee runs away.

No one knows where she's running away,

It turns out that the grandmother hid Josee and took care of him until now.

Then how did you and Josee get back in touch again?

He sent me a greeting card on Christmas day

There was no sender's name on the greeting card, the contents only said that ...

Now that mom is in a comfortable place, you don't need to worry.

10 years later we meet again

Yes, that is so. Everything is just past.

He thought he had killed someone. So he's always been hiding all his life. You stupid.

I told you it's all free.

Where is there anything free in this world?

My friend's aunt works in a social care institution, they will provide a comfortable life for grandma and Josee.

Incidentally this year there is still a budget, if grandmother agrees then we can start next week.

The system is not complicated, there's no need to use the name Nuna Josee if you don't want to because it can be in the name of your grandmother too.

Think about it first

It becomes a good opportunity for you

I see a lot of cooking utensils in the kitchen,

Are you good at cooking?

I cook

Eonni, sometime you have to make delicious dishes for me. [Eonni: nickname for older sister]

Good.

- Really tiring, huh? - No, there's not much I can do. Looks like this will be over in 3 days.

Thank you for your kindness.

Today everything will be finished.

Hm.

Are you reading a travel book?

If you could travel far, where would you go?

I do not have a place I want to visit.

Is it true?

Seriously?

Yes

I've visited all over the world

Oh, I see.

Which place do you like the most?

Dangeul, Scotland

The best whiskey maker

What's this? - With this you can go anywhere you want.

Which whiskey is the best from?

I've tried it a few times

Very beautiful

You said, you've been here.

When did I say something like that?

Oh

- The people here are local? - Yes.

But why can't all of their faces be seen?

Due to maintaining their privacy

Excuse me, you have a guest.

Soo Kyung said she wanted to visit, so I let her come.

You said everything will be fine soon, huh? / Yes.

There are quite a lot of rules here, so you can't just touch the items. At least we fixed the bathroom.

All this thanks to Soo Kyung who always asked me for help for this improvement.

It's not that bad here

I visited here, because my aunt told me that Seonbae was here.

The social workers here are all good people, including my aunt.

I really thank you guys.

The woman I saw earlier, she has a disability that you talked about before?

He looks so young

Can I come in?

From now on, I hope you stop coming here

What?

I said, I want you to stop coming here

Get some rest

I'll come here again later.

I hope ...

Don't come here again.

You look good with this tuxedo

Not mine

Whose is this?

I borrowed it from the laundry near the house

But this tuxedo sure looks good on you

How was your job interview? Running smoothly?

Yes, that is so. I'll work hard. - Oh, I see.

So, are you going to Seoul next time?

Yes, it is true.

I plan to leave my current residence

Seonbae ...

We're not meant to be together, are we?

I saw your coat was really cool

Ah, this? I bought it cheap. - Good, huh? - Yes.

thank you

Looks like you need to pay more attention to shoes, because suits and clothes usually look the same.

People who are really rich, usually pay more attention to shoe brands.

This whiskey is limited edition. I got it hard.

They don't sell this drink carelessly

Good drinks that are drunk by good people too. Very enjoyable.

By the way ...

Seems like I have to find you another job.

I'm scheduled to go to work tomorrow.

Crazy.

I want to ask you something, okay?

Yes please.

Do you have a problem with Professor Min Hye Seon?

I have a close relationship with him, but the one who recommended Professor Min Hye Seon on this campus was also the director of that company.

I don't know whether to talk about this to you or not

It seems like Professor Min Hye Seon has spoken bad things about you to the company you are applying for

It turned out to taste like this

Hello? / Hello, how are you?

Fine, how are you?

Good

- This is my daughter. - Come on and greet my friends

She is very shy

The house that we helped at that time, recently we always visit it

Because the grandmother in the house has died, so we are more often to help and visit her.

What? What's wrong with grandma?

You don't know, do you?

My grandmother passed away a month ago, because her body had been sick for a long time

Now you can use a wheelchair inside the house, right?

You must be very difficult because you have to live alone

The people from the orphanage know that I don't like going out,

They often visit me and help me, so I feel comfortable

in that case, thank God

How are you? Alright right?

Now you have graduated from college?

Have you got a job?

Hm.

To date ...

I still have Grandma's cremation ashes

Because I feel grandma is still around the yard

If I say "Come on inside the house"

Grandma will answer that our yard is very comfortable

Don't tell stories like that, it's so sad

Your face looks very pale and thin

You have to eat regularly

Your window is open ...

Through the window a winter wind blew. Don't you feel cold?

Want me to call up the social care people to correct your window?

The condition of your door also looks damaged, you should repair it immediately so that you are more comfortable.

Why do you always think that I live in discomfort?

It really offended me

What?

Why do you have to pity someone like me?

What do you mean? - / I told you that your presence really makes me uncomfortable.

I really feel uncomfortable with your presence

Your presence really makes me uncomfortable

What ... do you mean by saying uncomfortable? / Even I begged you ...

To not come here again, because your presence really makes me uncomfortable

Didn't I beg you?

Looks like you're in a bad mood, I'll come back later.

No, don't come again.

You don't need to come here anymore.

/ kyaaaa /

Do not go ...

Please.

Please stay by my side.

Stay by my side forever

I hope

I will always be by your side

I will be by your side forever

/close your eyes again kid/

Are you ok?

I do not know ...

I think I'm happy

What the heck?

I am happy

Very happy

Close to you like this ... / i can't translate the real meaning of this sorry wkwk /

Make me happy

You are very beautiful

You too

Stay by my side today

Yes

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow too, stay here

If I stay here, we'll starve. I have to work.

Don't go anywhere, stay here

If you go ...

I will spread bad rumors about you to everyone

I'll tell the social care workers ...

I will also tell it to your college friends

You have committed a crime ...

In women who can't even walk

Crime?

Yes, crime.

You must always be by my side.

I really like ...

all about you.

It's very cold now

Wait in the house.

I saw you on TV a while ago

Very scary television

You saw me audition?

Yes, I saw you eliminated from the audition in round two

If I were eliminated in round 2, I wouldn't be able to get on TV

Just being able to be on TV shows that my talent is extraordinary

Later I will see a video of him during the audition. Very entertaining.

He's really annoying sometimes

Is the TV picture good?

Yes, good. The TV is the most expensive treasure of mine.

What are you doing?

I'm touching your things

I'll take care of it later, so leave it be

Is there something you are hiding?

What are you doing?

I saw a tiger earlier

Tiger?

At night like this? - Here? - Hm.

Yes, tiger.

Okay, that's fine.

Even though the tiger crossed the forest boundary and came here ...

I will not be afraid

Why?

Because it's on my side

I dare not fight tigers

In that case ...

I will sacrifice myself to be eaten by the tiger first.

You must be able to escape

Yes, you can.

Do you remember how your footsteps sounded when you walked to me?

Now I am no longer afraid

How was your test today? Smooth?

I do not know

I'm sure you will pass stage 1

Because I recommended you

The company you applied for the first time, they honestly really like you

But I didn't recommend you on purpose

Why?

I know the CEO very well and his personality is very ugly.

Besides, you won't be able to work for long at that company. So I didn't recommend you to them on purpose.

How are you? Alright right?

Yes, that is so.

I am glad to hear that

I am hungry

This is where we first met

Very cold

At this rate, we may end up cold

- Where are you going? - Heating up the room

Why?

Do I look weird?

No, you look very beautiful.

Have you ever gone up there?

Of course, I have

You are scared?

Not

This turned out to be very high

Now we're going down

We're going down

5 years later

Great

Finally we can come to Scotland

Hm

I really wanted to come here with you

Sometimes I really want to go to the farthest place, with you

Despite that,

I also really want us to just be quiet and cooped up, at home

Just you and me, the two of you

Hurry up here, so slow

You speak very disrespectfully to your own mother huh

There's one more person there, you take it

You've been here so long, let's go

- How are you? - Fine.

Repair this gate properly, how many times it has been damaged

Even so, I already gave you this car. You should be grateful.

[Grandma Park Da Bok]

- Cold. - Yes, very cold.

Fortunately, our office hours are the same.

Yes, I was trying to get home early even though I felt bad about the other employees

[Lee Young Seok & Choi Soo Kyeong]

I also feel bad about having to get married in winter.

Don't just get married?

No, you have to.

The sunshine here is very beautiful

Even though it must be very cold outside

Now, I'm fine

Hm?

Even though we think that the fish are imprisoned there,

But in the eyes of the fish, it is we who are imprisoned

Right now I still think that being imprisoned in his own world isn't a bad thing

As long as we can be alone together, together

Among all those fish, there will be happy fish, right?

I'll be fine now

I'm not lonely

Even though you are not by my side anymore

I will always assume that you will continue to be by my side

Therefore ...

I'm fine now

Why are you saying nonsense like that?

The flowers fell ...

They fell in beautifully ...

quietly and then die.
