Kim Jong-ho, an ordinary fisherman from Jeju Island, discovers that the blowfish he caught has strange properties. After accidentally consuming its roe, his body begins to emit a peculiar glow, and local sharks suddenly gain the ability to speak human language. Soon the entire island descends into chaos: marine life organizes a strike demanding better living conditions, while scientists from around the world flock to Jeju to study the phenomenon. Kim Jong-ho finds himself at the center of attention, trying to save his business, mediate the conflict between humans and fish, and understand why he became the key figure in this absurd confrontation. His daughter, a biology student, proposes an unexpected solution linked to an ancient Korean legend about sea spirits.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Park Chan-wook employs exaggerated visual gags and unexpected trot music inserts, crafting an environmental satire filtered through Korean folklore.

Anyone ready for a conversation about coexistence that doesn't take itself too seriously will appreciate the film's unique tonal balance. What lingers after the credits is the clever use of absurdity to discuss genuine ecological concerns — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lee Soo-sung
