North American Premiere
Yun Simkyoung’s drama stars Choi Myeong-bin as Young-sun, an ace tennis player forced to live as competitively off the court as on. Abandoned by her adoptive parents, the young teenager resides in an orphanage where she leans on her love of tennis to compensate for life’s woes. When she’s chosen to be the live-in trainer of Sua (Moon Seung-a), a girl from a very wealthy family, it seems Young-sun’s skill has paid off. But Sua resents her new housemate, and Young-sun finds herself doing desperate things to hold on to her new life…
Yun’s film is attuned to the nuances of class, character, and competition, and the three factors intersect in fascinating ways throughout the story, with every new development a shift in power dynamics. There’s a subtle but insistent suspense to Sua’s Home, and a moral ambiguity too: Young-sun’s lies, manipulations, and betrayals are as understandable as they are distasteful. This is a film of psychological combat, with unstable alliances and merciless tactics.
