Mother's Household Ledger

2024 · 1h 30m · Documentary

After moving to a provincial area, I decided to live with my elderly parents and discovered my mother's 50-year-old ledger. At first, it seemed like a simple household record, but as I continued to flip through it, I realized it captured the essence of our family's life. The ledger includes records starting from the day I was born in 1972, revealing various family events, as well as depicting the struggles of my father with unemployment and my mother's diligent management of the household. The ledger, which stopped in 2016, reflected my mother's way of enduring life, and although she is now losing her memory, it allows her to revisit our family's past.
