How it feels

This South Korean film tells three connected stories about a family across different generations. A woman marries a man with multiple wives but is treated like a servant. A daughter becomes a student activist during political unrest while her brother explores a homosexual relationship. A son searches for love and comfort from men because he grew up without a father.
