📖 Synopsis
Jongsu, a young aspiring writer, reunites with his childhood neighbor Haemi. She asks him to take care of her cat while she travels to Africa, where she meets Ben, a mysterious and wealthy man. When Haemi disappears, Jongsu becomes obsessed. Lee Chang-dong masterfully adapts Murakami with a hypnotic touch, building a film about inequality, frustrated desire, and the invisible violence that lurks beneath the surface of modernity.
