Film director Kim receives a sudden call from his cousin Il-kyu. Il-kyu calls to say that his mother will meet his father in Yan Jie, China. The two were separated during the Korean War and II-kyu asks if Kim could accompany with his mother. On a bus on the way to Sok-cho, Kim sees a girl Young-hwa and becomes attracted to her. He happens to meet her in a lodging house and follows her to Tae-bak, where she finds her sister. This can be read to be a portrait of Jeon Soo-il who has been struggling to make independent films in Busan. Time Between Dog. and Wolf, however, is not satisfied with it. The protagonist unwillingly visits his hometown, where the historical time in which he has never been interested s inscribed. There he meets a woman named Young-wha (which means cinema′ in Korean). This woman excites him for a short moment and then disappears. In the strange town, he is left alone This lyrical and beautiful work questions the reason of film itself, again picturing the borderline between historical time, which gave birth to the collective wounds, and private time, where sexual desire rules.
