About
Welcome remarks by Consul General Kyung-eun Lee, Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Houston. Set in fifteenth-century Joseon, this absorbing period drama, a box office smash, begins with a piece of folk wisdom. Heung-do, the headman of a remote mountain village, hears that hosting an exiled nobleman will bring prosperity, so he petitions to take one in, never guessing his guest will be Danjong, the deposed boy-king, removed from the throne. An unlikely, touching bond forms between them, even as the village is drawn into the lethal currents of royal intrigue. Tickets are $10 general admission (festival pricing) and $8 for MFAH members, students with ID, and seniors (65+). The screening takes place in Brown Auditorium Theater in the Law Building.
