Huh-wook and Ji-yeon are a destitute couple who meets on every holiday, having nothing to do but spending time at an empty park, even without money for a cup of coffee. She informs him d her pregnancy, and he wonders off the city to get money for the abortion. The doctor tells them a baby is in an extreme delicate condition to have, so the abortion is needed. In this film the city is portrayed gloomy and desolate, and people who live in are either hypocrites or in despair. Neither deliverance nor bright future seem to be ahead of this miserable couple, that an overwhelming sense of hopelessness on silver screen absorbs the audiences as well. The film is said to begin with a narration by the dead body found in the river, and to end with a scene in which a fully decomposed body is shown. Both parts had to be excluded in its final version. Yet the film never passed the government censorship for public release, due to its supposedly decadent sentiment. With this new discovery the audience will be able to witness Lee′s cinematic maturity and experimentation that are still valid. (Cho Young-jung)
