A Lonely Island in the Distant Sea
"Yun-cheol, now in his forties, has always wanted to be a sculptor. However, after his divorce and moving in with a college lecturer in a tiny provincial town, he took the extremely pragmatic decision to forego his creative dreams and make a job as an interior designer. His ex-wife's daughter Ji-na is similarly talented and is thinking about going to art school. Her high school professors, on the other hand, are concerned about her antisocial conduct, notably the unsettling illustrations she creates. She resolves to abandon everything and become a monk at a monastery overnight. To make matters worse, Yun-cheol's partner informs him that she plans on accepting a position in another country. While grappling with his own regrets, Yun-cheol seeks to find a means to rekindle his daughter's desire to follow her aspirations." KoBiz
