A woman who sells supplies and solace to fishermen on a secluded isle becomes the object of a man's violent obsession after saving him from suicide.

Yongho stares down an oncoming train as twenty years of his life flash before his eyes. Proceeding to move backward in time, Lee Chang-dong's acclaimed second directorial feature rewinds the protagonist's loss of humanity – from his self-hating middle age through his callow teens. The moments in between these events mirror South Korea’s traumatic political history during the late 20th century.
