Paju (Korean: 파주) is a 2009 South Korean film. It tells the tale of a teenage schoolgirl (Seo Woo) and her complex relationship with her older sister's husband (Lee Sun-kyun). Set in the city where it takes its name from – a longtime military area and now a developing city located close to the North/South Korean border – its narrative deals with guilt, mystery, love and redemption, as well as the psychological layers of its characters. The film also offers a glimpse into South Korean society and the struggles some residents of Paju face.
In 2010 Paju became the first ever Korean film to open the International Film Festival Rotterdam[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and to compete at the Tribeca Film Festival.[9][10][11]
