On an isolated fishing isle, a lonely woman and a former policeman are drawn into a destructive relationship with tragic consequences.
Overview:
Unable (or refusing) to speak, Hin-jin eeks out a living on a fishing isle by selling food by day and her body by night. Her customers hold her in contempt, but she hides a well of emotion that can erupt at unexpected moments. Coiled like a tightly-wound spring, Hin-jin begins to come out of her shell when the despairing former policeman Hyon-shi arrives on the scene. She prevents his first suicide attempt in a novel way. His second attempt to kill himself may nauseate some viewers, but it prompts Hin-jin not only to rescue him but to try and salve his emotional wounds with sex. Their attraction turns to obsession, however, and things go downhill from there. The director himself described the film as "vulgar and destructive" but also "intense and beautiful." It was widely lambasted upon its release in Korea and was a box-office failure there, although it has found some notable champions at international film festivals. Viewers should be advised that the film contains scenes of a graphic and disturbing nature.
