Synopsis
While her husband is away on business, Gamhee visits three old friends. On three occasions, a man appears unexpectedly and interrupts the quiet thread of their conversations. With characteristic humor and grace, Hong takes a simple premise and spins a web of interconnecting philosophies and coincidences. The Woman Who Ran is a subtle, powerful look at dramas small and large faced by women everywhere.
