The Elephant on the Bike

Other name: 파란 자전거 파란자전거 Paran Jajeongeo

Description:

A coming-of-age drama about a man whose childhood has been overcast in painful memories due to his disability. Newcomer director, Kwon Yong Gook, takes charge of the megaphone to tell a candid story about one man's internal struggles as he makes the transition from adolescence to adulthood, carrying the psychological wound caused by his physical deformity, plus the impact of his disability on his family. Despite the constant social and family conflicts that dampen his already disheartened soul, a glimmer of hope arises as he discovers the ultimate joy of life-loving someone and being loved. In his feature-length debut, Kwon conveys the message that not all physically challenged protagonists end up miraculously overcoming their hardships. A poignant tearjerker minus the superficial themes, The Elephant On The Bike offers realism throughout its heartwarming tale.
