Burying Old Alive with English, Korean and Russian subtitles
is a 1963 South Korean drama film edited, written, produced and directed by Kim Ki-young.
Prior to the adoption of Confucianism, it was the tradition to abandon one’s parents on a mountainside if they were over 70 years of age. In the ancient kingdom of Goryeo, now modern Korea, a nobleman defies this tradition when he refuses to leave his mother to starve to death.
