Push Push! (Sanbuingwa)

Love and loss, life and death are all in a day’s work for two women, an obstetrician Dr. Jung-Yeon Han and a gynaecologist Dr. Hye-Suk Min. We follow the two as they treat an ensemble of ordinary women enduring extraordinary circumstances. A con-woman wants the results of her pregnancy test falsified. A woman in her late forties thinks she will be more desirable if she gets a hymen reconstruction. A young teenage girls is first robbed of her innocence and then of her child. A woman with romanticised notions of the “beautiful pain of mother nature” gets a dose of reality. This film presents these women and others in a straight-forward and thought-provoking look into the complexities of being a woman. An astonishingly vivid human dramedy.
