What Marathon Is About
Cho-won is autistic, happy, and in love with two things: drawing zebras and running. His mother decides he will do something nobody expects of him and run a marathon, and she talks a disgraced coach into training him. The film is honest about the uncomfortable part of that, because what the mother wants and what her son wants are not always the same thing. It is adapted from the true story of Bae Hyeong-jin, an autistic marathon runner. More than five million people saw it in South Korea, and Cho Seung-woo won best actor at both the Grand Bell and the Baeksang awards for the lead role.
