Three very different sisters find themselves living vastly different lives in Seoul, but a family event brings them all together. Hee-sook (KIM Sun-young) is struggling to make ends meet. She works hard, supports her angsty teenage daughter and winds up joining a pseudo-religious group. She has also been diagnosed with cancer, but she’s kept that to herself. Mi-yeon (MOON So-ri) is the prim and proper sister who lives with her professor husband and children and is a very active member in church. The order in her life begins to crumble when she discovers her husband is having an affair with a girl from the choir. Meanwhile, Mi-ok (JANG Yoon-joo), the youngest sister, is a self-destructive playwright who routinely drinks herself into a frenzy. She is married to a man who has a child from a previous marriage. Their strict father’s birthday prompts them all to take a trip to the countryside together.
Three Sisters, the third film by director LEE Seung-won, is a Jeonju Cinema Project that was commissioned by the Jeonju International Film Festival. It debuted in Jeonju and went on to screen at the Busan International Film Festival, where LEE’s first film Communication & Lies premiered in the New Currents competition in 2015. The film was produced by MOON So-ri and is the latest step into the acting world by model JANG Yoon-joo, who turned heads in RYOO Seung-wan’s Veteran (2015) and is now taking on increasingly more significant roles.
