BFI introduction:
When newlywed Hae-soon loses her fisherman husband to the sea, she joins the company of villagers left widowed by the forces of nature. But when she becomes the target of an aggressive courtship, Hae-soon is forced to leave her home. Adapted from the novel by Oh Yeong-su, Kim Soo-yong’s drama deftly captures the rhythms of rural life, the communal bond between women and human resilience in the face of an unforgiving natural world.
