Maggie & Jae

A reflection on Korean patriarchy, the story centers on a family of two magpies who struggle to find food during the winter. The traditionalist father Jae takes great pride in being the breadwinner of the family and stubbornly prevents his daughter Maggie from helping him in his daily hunt. One faithful day, Maggie disobeys her father's orders and leaves the nest to bring food home.
