Watch TrailerFeeling stuck, young fisherman Yong-su sees no hope in his future - like a fish in a net. As a last resort, he plans an insurance scam by staging his disappearance, hoping to provide a better life for his Vietnamese wife and his ageing mother. At the centre of this scheme is his captain, Yeong-guk, who reluctantly reports Yong-su missing. However, when Yong-su’s mother refuses to connect her son’s disappearance with his death, the white lie snowballs into something harder to chew.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a narrative on the contrast between the cold, harsh reality of a fisherman's life and the fragile hope that drives the protagonist. He explores the moral ambivalence of actions, relying on the quiet yet powerful performances where every glance and pause speaks volumes.
What lingers after the viewing is a slow, inexorable immersion into an emotional abyss, where good intentions collide with the boomerang effect of fate. A poignant study of desperation and its consequences. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Park Ri-woong
