Spoilers ahead
In a world where silence serves as a profound mediator, Suh Jung’s captivating performance as Hee-jin, a mute woman running a fishing resort, leads us into an unsettling yet poignant exploration of human connection. Her serene surroundings, featuring small floating cottages and a ferry service to the mainland, are disrupted by the arrival of Hyun-shik, a troubled man fleeing from the law.
As Hee-jin carries out her daily activities, her seemingly dispassionate exterior masks a deep reservoir of empathy and care for those seeking solace at her resort. Her services go beyond standard hospitality, extending to supplying goods, occasional prostitution, and offering companionship. However, when the shadows of Hyun-shik’s troubled past begin to surface, Hee-jin’s intrigue grows, and they forge a deepening bond.
