"Exuberantly nonsensical debut from South Korea’s Yi Okseop"

Busan International Film Festival
International Film Festival Rotterdam
Fantasia International Film Festival

Stylish and surreal, Yi Okseop's bold debut feature is part relationship drama, part sci-fi, part comedic satire, and a lot more besides. Her fantastical film tells the story of a young nurse, Yoo-young (Lee Juyeong) who is suffering a guilty-conscience after an x-ray is discovered following a tryst with her lover in the hospital's radiology room. As the doctor in charge attempts to find out who the lovers are (the x-ray, revealing as is it, doesn’t identify the perpetrators), bizarre events start taking place, with sink holes appearing around town and Yoo-young discovering a psychic catfish named Maggie.
