"Pansy & Ivy" is a documentary presenting the daily life of two disabled sisters, Soo-jung and Yun-jung. 36-year-old Soo-jung falls in love with a man, but they soon break up. The end of their relation ship does not defeat her since she has already defeated a handicap from birth. Both sisters wish to have a child. They find the world a beautiful place and dream about love to come. This documentary is a powerful story about strength and optimism and it works to reshape perceptions about the handicap.
