Set in 1987 Seoul at the end of the era of authoritarian government, A Rosy Life portrays the lives of three outcasts full of hurt, chaos, and vulnerability: Thud-on-the-run Dong-pal (Choi Jae-soeng), aspiring writer Yu-jin (Lee Ji-hyeong), and labor activist Ki-young (Cha Kwang-su), who is hiding from the police. The trio takes refuge in a shabby comic book rental shop, run by a young woman, where those without any place or purpose hang around and pass the time. Director Kim Hong-jun offers an incisive portrayal of innocent, sensitive young minds who cling to their dreams in the face of a brutal reality, and a timely opportunity to reflect on a key year in contemporary Korean history.
