MANOK

A heartwarming lesbian/queer comedy about sticking to your ideals

(이반리 장만옥)

For twenty years, feisty and outspoken Manok has run a lesbian bar in Seoul. Recently, she has started clashing with the younger generation of activists and customers, who aren’t spending enough at her bar, and do not respect the battles she fought in previous decades. The young ones, in their turn, find her bar and attitude a bit stuffy and old-fashioned.

After yet another fight, she moves to the rural village where she has just inherited her mother’s house. Here, new challenges arise: she never came out of the closet there, and her bitter ex-husband is the mayor. Manok dives into a campaign headfirst and sets out to change the village forever.

Funny, joyful and uplifting, this is a heartwarming lesbian/queer comedy about never giving up and sticking to your ideals.
