Synopsis

A young sculptor is unable to cope with the death of his wife killed in a car accident. Although he finds some solace in a series of poignant statues molded into her image, his creative angst for resilience overcomes him as a miraculous mutation occurs between the sculpture and sculptor. As time passes along, his ultimate creation, the woman he so immeasurably loved, is reborn, Genesis appeals to the same time touches our deep remorse for death and the fascination of new beginnings. A classic story told in a surrealistic style brings Genesis to the fore of filmmaking artistry. (Na Ho-Won)
