Take a delightful journey with this "magnificently expressive," (Janice Page, BOSTON GLOBE) award-winning Korean movie that has captured the hearts of audiences throughout the world. THE WAY HOME is the story of Sang-woo, a seven-year-old boy from the city, and his elderly grandmother, a deaf-mute who has spent her entire life in a small rural village. When Sang-woo's mother is forced to send him to live with his grandmother, Sang-woo is shocked at what he finds -- a place without electricity, indoor plumbing or access to fast-food restaurants. Angry and confused, Sang-woo rejects his grandmother's attempts to please him. But, as time passes, the old woman's kindness begins to touch the young boys heart-awakening curiosity, understanding and finally, love. With irresistible performances, charm and humor, THE WAY HOME is "one of the very best movies of the year!" (Jim Svejda, KNX/CBS RADIO).
"THE WAY HOME is simplicity itself, and Lee is alert to the details and incidents of everyday life to sustain the film with wryly amusing observations and much affection." -- Kevin, LOS ANGELES TIMES
