[edit] Storyline

It's Christmas Eve; Mi-heun is spending a quiet evening at home with her husband, while their daughter sleeps in the next room. The doorbell rings, and in walks one of her husband's former students; within minutes this woman is all over her husband, begging him to continue their affair. Suddenly, violently, Mi-heun's world is turned upside down. Director Byun, acclaimed for her documentaries, makes a powerful feature debut with this unsettling look at one woman's attempt to re-build her life after all she believed to be true evaporates around her. Kim Yoon-jin is extraordinary in the lead role, creating a character that seems as mysterious to her as does to those around her.
