After abandoning her infant in a restroom, Hye-Na sets out on a trip to find her mother. On her journey, she meets Ok-Nam, a woman who prostituted herself in order to buy her child a piano. The bus leads them into an unknown mountain, where they rescue a singer named Yoo-Jin, who in despair because of cancer, tries to kill herself. The three women head for the flower isle, where it is rumored sadness and pain are cured. To director Song Il-Gon, their pain comes from the human condition itself. The director believes that people all have incurable inner wounds which stemming from an inescapable fate. In a way Flower Island is a film asking an question of how wounds of the soul heal themselves. The film is like a documentary about a journey of convalescence from collective illness. The director began shooting the film with only a few words in his mind and a lightweight digital camera. (Han Sang-Jun)
