01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The framing story has young film student, Won-joo (Jung Yu-mi (actress born 1983)) and her mother Park Sook (Youn Yuh-jung) hiding from their debtors in Mohang, a seaside town in Buan, North Jeolla. The bored younger woman sets out to write a screenplay whose plot will use the place they’re staying in for the location, but eventually comes up with three variants, using the same basic idea in all of them.
