Hoping to rebuild her life, Shin-ae (Jeon Do-yeon) moves to her late husband’s hometown with her young son. A shy piano teacher, Shin-ae hopes for a new beginning and the opportunity to grieve, but instead is untethered by locals who mistreat and manipulate her. A stirring portrait of heartbreak and resilience, the film received rapturous acclaim, with the New York Times calling SECRET SUNSHINE “the cinematic equivalent of prose that is clear, elegant and lyrical,” and Jeon justly winning the Best Actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
