Synopsis

Haeseon’s mother, who had worked as a diver, is reported to have died, so Haeseon visits their hometown. But her mom’s workmate tells her that she isn’t really dead and will be reincarnated after 49 days. Haeseon discovers the long history of her family as spiritual medium of a shrine cave to protect divers, then heads to the sea with a new-born baby. The film portrays the weird and mysterious world of shamanism and Haeseon’s choice against her fate through beautiful photography and a dense structure. (KIM Young-woo)
