Director/scriptwriter Kim Jung-sik makes his debut with “Stone Skipping”, a story that tackles mental illness.
Synopsis
Seok-goo is a man in his 30's, but has the intelligence of an 8-year-old. He runs a rice mill in a village, where kind neighbors and friends live nearby. One day, he sees a runaway girl, Eun-ji who is mistaken to have been a pickpocket at a village party.
Seok-goo helps her by resolving the misunderstanding. He and Eun-ji become friends afterwards. Teacher Kim is a teacher at a shelter where Eun-ji stays. Teacher Kim is worried about the friendship between the two, but a Catholic priest sets Teacher Kim's worries at ease.
One evening, something happens to Eun-ji at Seok-goo's rice mill.
“Stone Skipping” stars Kim Dae-Myung, who saw success on the small screen this year with “Hospital Playlist”, as Seok-goo. Fresh-faced young actress Jeon Chae-eun makes her debut as Eun-ji, while Song Yoon-ah (“Innocent Witness”) and Kim Eui-Sung (“Train to Busan”) round up the cast as Teach Kim and the Priest respectively. It was scheduled to release earlier in the month but a new wave of coronavirus cases has delayed the release, which is not set for September 30th, 2020.
