Choi So-young (Choi Eun-hee), a poor female law student is in trouble because her grandmother, who had been sending her tuition money, passes away. With the help of her friend Hee-suk, (Kim Suk-il) who dreams of becoming a writer, So-young fools Choi Rim (Kim Seung-ho), a lawmaker, into believing she is his daughter and moves in his house. She studies hard and becomes a lawyer. At her first trial, she defends a female inmate (Hwang Jeong-sun). Coincidentally, the story of the inmate is very much similar to hers. So-young defends her, saying how difficult it is for a woman to survive in a cold capitalism, arguing for her rights in tears. After she wins the case, she goes home and confesses her crime to Choi Rim's wife (Yu Gye-seon).

1 ) 申相玉、崔银姬夫妻的电影：《一个女大学生的告白》

崔银姬是韩国五六十年代最著名的女演员，她美丽中蕴含知性和温婉，让人想到小津电影中的原节子，或者准确说更像成濑已喜男电影《山之音》中的原节子。崔的丈夫申相玉乃韩国当时最著名导演，二人一起拍过几十部电影。据说酷爱电影的金正日年轻时就非常喜欢崔银姬的电影。

1978年崔银姬在香港度假时，被朝鲜特务绑架，后来申相玉也被绑架到朝鲜，金正日对他俩可谓无微不至，好吃好喝好招待，力劝他俩拍了十几部电影。

九十年代初他俩经过辗转回到韩国，金正日去世时，崔银姬还表示过悼念。他们在五十年代末拍摄的电影如《一个女大学生的告白》《同心草》《姐妹花园》等片，属于传统电影的一脉，叙事结构线性有序，情节设定虽然也有突兀之处，倒很像日本四、五十年代成濑执导的电影，充满了对底层女性的同情和悲悯，加之崔的动情演绎，电影往往格外凄美感人。

值得玩味的是，一对夫妻，深受朝鲜半岛南北人民的喜爱，并离奇的为两边拍片，不管是自愿还是被迫，都留下了深刻的影响。值得反思的是，崔银姬夫妻终究还是回到了韩国，随着年龄的增长，也不复往昔的风光。

如果拉开历史来看，对照他们两边拍的电影，这是值得研究的事情。在北边，意识形态与领袖之间达成了某种默契，银幕上免不了高大上的“英雄”一把，而在南边，申相玉尽可拍着属于自己的电影，那种对于底层民众的悲悯情怀，总是映照着可见的未来。说白了，他们离奇的经历，就是半岛这半个世纪历史的见证。
