Burmese on the Roof 2016

Soe, Joe, and Tommy came from a land they call ‘Burma.’ They are illegal foreign workers in Korea. Hard work worn them out, but they hold onto their lives with a sole pride; being a breadwinner for the family back home. On the weekends, they comfort themselves with bottles of hard liquors. Soe and Joe are determined to go back home finally after a decade, but Tommy is determined not to go back until he can make a flashy return with good sum of money.

The Eyeglasses N/A

Eyeglasses sitting before the camera bring back everyday memories of they witnessed: when the wearer's eyes became poor, and how they felt when they started to wear glasses for the first time. The conversation naturally moves from the old them to missing 'black horn-rimmed eyeglasses.' 30 years ago, when the glasses floated to the surface of the sea, they all started to view the world differently. Now that they are older, they cannot see the world without glasses. Eyeglasses can sometimes be uncomfortable and bothersome, but while memories may fade away, the black horn-rimmed glasses have witnessed decades. The newly-appeared glasses bring with them a question - whether they can go through such difficult times again. The eyeglasses begin to give their own answers.
