◆ Meeting for a Beautiful Farewell Jeongto Village, a hospice ward located in Cheongwon, Chungcheongbuk-do. Since its establishment in 2000, many terminally ill patients have died peacefully here. A daughter who has to accept her single mother’s sudden death, a wife who watches her husband’s pain with tears in her eyes, and those left behind after death… The various aspects of life that unfold in the face of one person’s death make us reflect on the issues of life and death once again. ◆ Death, a new beginning that awakens from a dream Mr. Park Seong-gyu entered Jeongto Village after arduous cancer treatment. Unable to accept death, his wish is to regain his former health. The wife, who watches her husband getting sicker day by day, secretly sheds tears, but cannot yet accept his impending death. Out for a long walk, the wife pushes the swing her husband is sitting on. Monk Neunghaeng tells them to love and be thankful for each other while their husbands are alive. And not long after, Mr. Park Seong-gyu died. Meanwhile, there are Monk Do-gong, who is in the final stages of stomach cancer and has difficulty eating every day, Monk Jin-hu, who lives each day relying on an oxygen mask, and Monk Seong-o, who never misses a prayer service for the patients. As human beings who feel pain, rather than religious people, what kind of death are they preparing for? ◆ Taking a memorial photo One morning, the patients began to get ready. The nuns and patients looked at their faces in the mirror, which they usually don’t look at. Soon, they gathered one by one in the yard. What could it be? The patients smiled brightly, saying, “I hope it looks good.” The photographer taking the memorial photo was also busy... The Jeongto Village family gathered together after a long time. I captured their last moments on a small camera. Most people are unable to prepare for death even when death is right around the corner and they are holding their breath. Many people say that they regret not having loved in the face of death. How about looking back on yourself through the Jeongto Village people preparing for the end of their lives? ▫️If you enjoyed it, please click ‘Subscribe & Like’. ▫️The video may be 'private' according to the channel's principles. ▫️Comments containing profanity and slander toward the cast will be deleted immediately. ▫️Comments may be 'disabled' without prior notice.
