Abstract

An Old Lady is a South Korean film released in the summer of 2020. It is based on an incident where a 69-year-old woman was sexually assaulted by her physiotherapist. The film portrays how the woman was victimized by violence in forms of sexual offense and ageism because of her age. This film is effective in raising people's attention to violence toward older adults. Further, it can be great educational materials for gerontological social workers. This film review serves to provide a summary of the film's plot and to discuss its noteworthy features as a tool for gerontological social work education.
