Things happen in life, sometimes only a comment made to us, that shape and color our whole life. In my own life, I remember seminal moments, people, that made a difference in the way I lived and the decisions I made. Ode to My Father is an epic story of how one man's life was colored by just such a significant event. Duk-soo, running with his family at the beginning of the Korean War, loses his sister. His father returns to find her, instructing little Duk-soo that he is responsible for caring for the family. This is merely a traditional Korean custom - no one expects a 6-year old to support a family. And yet, that responsibilty shaped his entire life. This film, although not a real story is based deeply in truth. It is the stories of thousands of Koreans.
