Summary:
"Old Partner is an eloquent, touching, yet gut-wrenching peek into the reality of Mr. Choi Won-Kyun and his relationship with his 40-year-old ox. In the backdrop of what seems to be a dying way of life for many farmers in moder-day South Korea, the old couple perseveres while his wife, Lee Sam-Soon, bickers and complains about her own unlucky fate. There is no denying that this particular ox is a beast of burden, but it is also cherished and loved as the old man's constant and dependable companion. ... The old man and his ox trudge along slowly, crippled, and with a quiet defiance proving a love and loyalty that can only be shared by a man and his animal."--Distributer.
