The story of the brave "Alice" who chose a different path instead of running forward in the "weird country" of Korea. "It's Okay, Alice," a movie about loving me as I am, has confirmed its theatrical release on November 13.
{It's Okay, Alice' is a documentary film that asks the universal question 'What kind of life will you live' in a competitive education system and modern society. The work is not just an educational problem, but also draws deep reflection on life and happiness in Korean society.
The film depicts the process of teenagers living with different wounds and concerns to explore their own paths away from academic and social pressures.
Starting with the honest stories of teenagers who wander due to test anxiety, eating disorders, and conflicts with their families, communication with an intellectual who dreams of real change in Korean society with parents who respect and listen to their stories rather than realistic choices of "career" and "admission" makes their process deeper.
The film gradually expands, showing that this concern is not just a problem for teenagers, but can also be applied to all members living in modern society. While living at their own pace, they comfort the audience through courage and reflection to live "as yourself," and throw messages such as "You can do it," "It's okay to rest," "It's okay not to do well," and "It's okay to go the other way." The movie is completely full of 'time to love me as I am'.
Director Yang Ji-hye, who directed the film, said she has experienced looking back on her life through this documentary work based on her long career as a broadcast writer. Oh Yeon-ho, the founder of the "Kkumtley Life School" in the movie, takes Denmark's education system as an example and emphasizes the importance of education to create a happy society. He hopes that the school will be incorporated into the public education sector and created nationwide.
It's Okay, Alice' is creating a new theater culture in a way that audiences directly lead the screening through the "100 Theater" project. This is an important practice that helps the spread of independent films by becoming the subject of the audience to choose the movies they want to watch and sharing them with their neighbors.
Also, the audience who watched the movie deeply sympathized with the questions asked by this work. Song Kyung-yong, co-chairman of Life Safety Citizen Net, said, "I felt sorry for the children, moved, and choked up throughout the movie. How long will we drive people in the competitive structure we have created?" raised the curiosity about the work.
{It's Okay, Alice} is expected to be a work that deeply resonates with the audience, depicting the pain, growth, and pursuit of true happiness that anyone can experience in modern society.
