From contemporary master Kim Ki-Duk who gave us 2004 DIFF favourite 3-Iron comes this tale of the ultimate test of love. Seh-hee and Ji-woo have been going out for two years and are deeply in love. But as time passes, Seh-hee becomes increasingly jealous and obsessive, based on an underlying fear that Ji-Woo will come to tire of her looks. And so one day, after it seems that her fears are starting to materialise, she disappears without a word, only to return to Ji-Woo's life six months later with a new name and a new face courtesy of the plastic surgeon's knife. Ji-Woo falls in love with this new girl with the strikingly similar name of See-hee but his love for old girlfriend still lingers. And when he receives a letter from her saying that she wants to get back with him, he decides to break up with See-hee.
