The Korean Film Festival will conclude with “200 Pounds Beauty” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, Plaster Hall’s Cornell Auditorium at Missouri Southern State University.
In this comedy/drama film from 2006, an overweight young woman who is desperately in love with a man who does not share her feelings undergoes an almost magical transformation through cosmetic surgery to become strikingly attractive. Her subsequent love life, though, does not prove to be what she imagined it would be.
Admission is free and open to the public.
