Boiler 2017

Directed by Lee Young-ah

An impoverished mother, who has lost all hope, tries to end her young son’s life and hers. She lights up the charcoal in the house and waits for her last moment when a boiler repair man knocks on her door. The boiler repair man notices the charcoal, puts it out in a hurry, and finds the young son, sitting lifelessly on the table. Nervous and worried, he stops the mother from committing suicide and exits the house.
