Director Chung Mong-hong’s works are internationally acclaimed. The title of his fifth film, Bathed in Sunshine, holds a deeper meaning. Chung said the film’s title represents its core theme: “The only thing truly fair in this world is sunlight, but the blazing sun isn’t so easy to embrace—you’ll find everyone hiding in the shadows.” This subtly hints that beneath the moving family drama, the complexity of human nature is the film’s greatest highlight.
