Following her father’s unexpected death, Yu descends into a state of depression and recluse. Thanks to words of warmth and encouragement from her friends, she finally brings herself to see a doctor and look for a job, only to find out that the world can be a cruel place for people recovering from mental illness. Just when she feels like being drawn back into an abyss of darkness, she recalls an edifying moment from her childhood, and begins to find solace in nursing the plants her father has left behind. At once candid and compelling, A Depressed Woman is a story about losing hope and finding it again.
