The Apartment with Two Women / 같은 속옷을 입는 두 여자

Soo Kyung lives with her daughter Yi Jung. They don′t exactly get along though. Soo Kyung is too hot tempered, while Yi Jung is slow and passive. After a fight one day, Soo Kyung ends up running over YiJung, who suspects she did it on purpose. Their clash ends up in court. Conflicts between a mother and a daughter might be common, but this film is hardly a common portrayal, showing the fierce battle between them over a sustained time, and at a length that seems wholly understandable at an emotional level.
