Summary: An eighty year old farmer who walks with a limp and can hardly hear tends to the farm while wondering how much longer his trusted ox can keep working in this documentary from filmmaker Chung-ryoul Lee. Choi has been on this earth for nearly a century. His worn-out ox has been around approximately half that time, working the land without incident for three decades. But these days Choi is beginning to wonder just how long his ox has left to live. Over the decades, the farmer and his beast have formed a relationship that transcends language and species. When spring arrives and Choi learns that his ox will likely be gone by the same time next year, the ageing farmer truly begins to fear for the future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
