Ip-sae (Kim Se-in) is a caregiver with a body so full and voluptuous her clothes might burst off of her any time. All the men in her hospital ward wish dearly to be touched and cared by her. But all she has eyes for is her husband Cheon-dong (Jo Min-joon). However, her husband becomes sexually handicapped due to an accident even before they get to spend their first night together. Ip-sae tells her husband, "My love for you is eternal although we may not have physical bonding" but Cheon-dong doesn't believe in love that can't be proven physically and decides to kill her... "I won't let you go on your own. Life without you is meaningless to me." Se-ip decides to die with Cheon-dong and they leave on a suicide trip together. As if they were destined, Ip-sae meets Ha-kyoon (Ahn Sang-hoi) and becomes curious about the body of a man. She spends a night with Ha-kyoon and realizes there is another meaning to love. She breaks up with Cheon-dong and he feels betrayed.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a harrowing clash between romantic idealism and physiological reality, relying on the physical body as a central metaphor for the rift between spirit and flesh. It explores the dark side of obsession and sacrifice through a lens of deliberate grotesquery.

What lingers after the credits is a profoundly unsettling feeling, a series of uncomfortable questions about possession and the limits of devotion, presented without easy solace. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Song Chang-soo
