Synopse

Celestial melodrama about the relationship between two women against the backdrop of the sea and a conservative society. Suan makes friends with the celebrity Seol, whom she meets at acting school. On a late-night excursion they discover feelings for each other, but what with misunderstandings and social barriers they do not get together. Longing lures Suan back to the winter lake where she last saw her friend and the powers of nature take her to a point where the real and the imaginary begin to merge. Thus, this softly lit story of queer desire slowly falls under the spell of dream logic.
