Concerning My Daughter by Hye-Jin Kim
A middle-aged mother narrates her mounting anxiety when her adult daughter moves back home with her girlfriend, forcing her to confront ingrained homophobia, social expectations, and financial insecurity. At the care home where she works, she witnesses institutional indifference and cruelty toward vulnerable elders, experiences that unsettle her certainties and mirror the prejudice she harbors at home. Through clashes, small acts of defiance, and uneasy self-reflection, she wrestles with what love, protection, and dignity truly require in an unforgiving society.
