Synopsis

Betrothed Soo-ok leaves Seoul to teach at a remote village elementary school in the mountains. The village seems to be scarcely populated and the first person she meets is a rather unusual, ragtag man, who glances straight in her eyes with an audacity that makes her shiver. Soon she learns that his name is Kkae-cheol-i and that he is the only stranger in a clan village where everyone is related, and carry the same surname from their mother's side. Furthermore, they consider him a cripple, lunatic and impotent, although Soo-ok soon begins having doubts about all three of his “capacities”. Her doubts take a much more solid shape when a man of the village beats Kkae-cheol-i because he had sex with his wife. Soon enough, a number of secrets, mostly of sexual nature, are revealed, and even Soo-ok, after her fiancée has failed to show up in the village as promised, does not succeed in staying out.

Panos Kotzathanasis

My name is Panos Kotzathanasis and I am Greek. Being a fan of Asian cinema and especially of Chinese kung fu and Japanese samurai movies since I was a little kid, I cultivated that love during my adolescence, to extend to the whole of SE Asia.

Starting from my own blog in Greek, I then moved on to write for some of the major publications in Greece, and in a number of websites dealing with (Asian) cinema, such as Taste of Cinema, Hancinema, EasternKicks, Chinese Policy Institute, and of course, Asian Movie Pulse. in which I still continue to contribute.

In the beginning of 2017, I launched my own website, Asian Film Vault, which I merged in 2018 with Asian Movie Pulse, creating the most complete website about the Asian movie industry, as it deals with almost every country from East and South Asia, and definitely all genres.
