Synopsis

A swimming woman is confused because she cannot get out of the water, however hard she tries. She reaches what looks like the end, but she is just trapped in another bog. The quality of the underwater shooting visualizing the human abyss is superb. Moon Geun Young directed and played the only character, the ‘woman,’ who has no lines. (IM Soo-yeon)
