The eclectic Korean director Chang-dong Lee takes an older short story by Haruki Murakami and creates a slow-moving masterpiece that almost magically drifts between drama and thriller, reaching an unforgettable climax. Awarded the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes.

Synopsis

Jong-su just lost his job. He will accidentally meet Hae-mi, a girl who once lived in his neighborhood. She will ask him to look after her cat while she’s away on a trip. On her return, she introduces Jong-su to a mysterious young man named Ben, whom she met while she was away.
