Two lonely people thrown together by fate have to overcome their own bad luck if they're to stay together in this drama from South Korean filmmaker Tae-Yong Kim. Chinese-born Anna (Wei Tang) was living in Seattle when she attacked her abusive husband, which led to his death. Anna had been in prison for seven years when she gets word that her mother has died; she's given a two-day furlough to attend the funeral, and Anna is on a bus when she meets Hoon (Bin Hyeon), a dapper stranger who has to borrow money from her in order to catch the ride to Seattle. While Anna is withdrawn and not much interested in talking, Hoon draws her out and they discover they have a fair amount in common. However, while Anna has only two days of freedom, Hoon isn't sure how long he'll be around, since a man with a grudge against him has pledged to kill him. Man Chu (aka Late Autumn) received its North American premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
