100 years of memory from a Korean woman.

[A Beautiful Day] is about the life of a Korean woman who takes a journey through her past from the moment she passes away. The past memories of the woman's life are portrayed through her eyes. The memories of an old woman, who has lived for a century, portray her personal life but also symbolize Korea's turbulent history including the Japanese colonial period, the Korean War and periods of starvation.
* During the traditional Korean funeral, the old lady’s soul is guided by the Kokdu through the past moments of her life. The Kokdu accompanies the woman's soul throughout her journey with care and protection. (*“Kokdu” is a wooden puppet that joins the deceased on their journey from this world to the afterlife.)
