Scenery Inside the Car
Synopsis
Anan's father has died, and Anan and her mother are in a car on the way to the funeral. Her mother reads the eulogy for her husband over and over, though it is mostly formulaic, polite phrases. In the car Anan casually records everything around her with a DV camera, although her mother repeatedly tells her to stop. The person reviewing the eulogy advises her mother to rewrite it, and her mother breaks down in tears. With the DV camera the daughter films the scar on her mother's neck left by the father's domestic violence, and mother and daughter embrace. The daughter rewrites the eulogy, describing anew "the father in her memory". He had been a motorcycle driver, a truck driver and a bus driver, and she says a final goodbye to him with the DV footage she once shot.
