When their mother leaves in order to find their estranged father, 7-year-old Jin and her younger sister, Bin, are left to live with their Big Aunt for the summer. With only a small piggy bank and their mother's promise to return when it is full, the two young girls are forced to acclimate to changes in their family life. The 2 bright-eyed young girls eagerly anticipate their mother's homecoming. But when the bank fills up, and with their mother still not back, Big Aunt decides that she can no longer tend to the children. Taken to live on their grandparents' farm, it is here that Jin comes to learn the importance of family bonds and self-reliance in this beautiful second feature from So Yong Kim.

Press Quotes
Simply one of the best films about childhood ever made.
—Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
Treeless Mountain' takes a radically different approach to the deprivations of childhood than 'Slumdog Millionaire,' yet these films from the other side of the world will connect with audiences wherever they are shown.
