Overview

In a storm-scared village, 70-year-old Tae lives a quiet life until she rescues Haru, a mysterious mountain creature. As she feeds and nurtures him with her wanzi, she finds a renewed sense of purpose. However, when rumors of a monster spread, fear turns the villagers against them. Tae is forcibly hospitalized, and Haru is hunted as a harbinger of disaster. To protect him, she stages a fake funeral. When a new storm strikes, Tae must learn that love is not possession but letting go.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quiet, meditative portrait of an elderly woman finding unexpected kinship with a creature caught between worlds, watching as love must transform into acceptance. The film moves like a folk tale told in a minor key, building toward a reckoning with what we must release.
