Milyang, a Welcome Guest (mil-lyang, ban-ga-un son-nim)
The film’s perspective gradually shifts from that of an outsider observing the struggle in Milyang to what the local residents witness as they face the life problem regarding the construction of high-voltage transmission cable towers. In the process, we are led to re-examine the meaning of Milyang’s struggle, tainted with prejudice and misunderstandings. In Gol-an Village, transmission towers are nearly finished, and in Yong-hoe Village the construction has just begun while in Yong-hoe Village it is just about to start. The stories about these three villages are connected by images of the village entrance through to the mountain top. This way, the film depicts the resentment and pain of the elderly women in the villages before and after the construction, as well as systematically revealing numerous issues surrounding the high-voltage transmission cable towers.
