Spoilers ahead
Inside a crowded mental institution, a strange menagerie of patients weaves a quiet, unsettling tapestry of lives. Young-goon, Lim Soo-jung, a factory worker who believes she is a cyborg, is kept apart from ordinary meals and ordinary conversations. Her self-imposed exile from humanity centers on a peculiar ritual: she refuses to eat, instead licking batteries and attempting to shock herself back to “recharge.” She talks almost exclusively with machines and electrical appliances, and every night she tunes in to her tube radio for guidance on becoming a better cyborg. This strange fixation casts a spell over her days and shadows her dreams, painting a fragile line between reality and a world built from circuits and sounds.
