Late Autumn (Korean: 만추; Hanja: 晚秋; RR: Manchu) is a 2010 English-language film directed by Kim Tae-yong.[3][4][5] It stars Tang Wei as Anna, a prisoner who is given a 72 hours parole to visit family in Seattle, and who meets and befriends a South Korean man on-the-run (Hyun Bin).[6][7]

A co-production between South Korea, China and the United States, it is the fourth remake of the now-lost 1966 Lee Man-hee melodrama classic of the same title.

Plot

[edit]

Anna (Tang Wei), an immigrant from China, has been in prison for seven years for the manslaughter of her husband (John Woo), who was jealous over her re-meeting her former boyfriend Wang Jing (Jun-seong Kim). Hearing that her mother has died and her brother John has arranged her bail, Anna is given 72 hours parole to visit her family in Seattle. On the coach she meets a young Korean man, Hoon (Hyun Bin), who borrows US$30 towards a ticket, and he gives her his watch as security, promising to pay her back later. Unknown to Anna, Hoon is a gigolo on the run from powerful businessman Steve (James C. Burns), who wants to kill him for having an affair with his Korean wife, Ok-ja (Jeong So-ra). Hoon meets Anna again in Seattle, and the pair spend time together. The next day he turns up at her mother's funeral, and gets into a fight with Wang at a restaurant afterwards. When Anna boards the bus to return to prison the following day, Hoon initially says goodbye, but he later joins her on the bus ride. When the bus stops at a rest point, Steve and his henchmen catch up on Hoon. Steve tells Hoon that Ok-ja is dead, and the police are on the way to find Hoon, implying that Steve has killed Ok-ja and intends to frame Hoon for her murder. Shocked about the news, Hoon goes to find Anna, and they exchange a passionate kiss. Hoon then promises that he will be waiting for Anna at the rest point when she gets out of prison. In the next scene, Anna wakes up in the bus, which is still at the rest point, but Hoon is nowhere to be found. As the bus readies to leave, Anna frantically searches for Hoon, while a police car arrives in the background. Two years later, Anna is set free and leaves prison. She comes to the rest point, and waits for Hoon in silence.
