About This DVD
Original Story : JEONG Chae-bong
A poet and master storyteller, JEONG pioneered a new genre called "fairy tales
for adults" with his popular publications, many of which were translated into
French and German. A fairy tale about a five-year-old boy who enters Nirvana, "Oseam"
weaves heart-wrenching episodes of a child who goes on a search for his mother
and finds her in a miraculous finale. Since its first publication in 1983, it
sold more than 100,000 copies in Korea.
Blind girl, Gami, and her five-year-old brother, Gilson, only have each other in
the world. Having no home to return to in the cold winter, the two kids start
their life at a Buddhist temple. Wanting to see his mother, even if for just one
brief moment, Gilson decides to follow the monk to a temple on a remote mountain
to learn to see with his mind. "If I make a wish with all my heart, mom will
come back to see me!"
Gilson may be a linguistic genius. He shows an unusual talent for
describing anything and everything he sees for his sister. He remains remarkably
loveable throughout the roughest of escapades, taking the constant lectures by
the monks at a temple with the grace of a high-polish adult. He also talks to
clouds, birds, deer and other animals freely, illustrating great imagination. He
hopes to see his mother, and to learn to see with his mind so that he can teach
the trick to his blind sister
Gami is quiet and serene for the most part, but displays frightening
charisma when she is angry. She keeps a sad secret about her mother that she
cannot share with her brother. All she can do is control her emotions and
quickly hide her tears when they fall while she talks of Mother to her endearing
younger brother.
A monk devoted to Buddhist aesthetic practices at Gwaneum Temple in Mt.
Seorak, Gangwon Province. He fatefully meets Gilson and Gami on the road and
brings them to the temple. He later invites Gilson to the small temple in a
remote mountain to study, but meets an accident on a trip to the marketplace
amidst a snowstorm.
