There is a girl near the factories. A man discovers her, feeds her, and turns her into a prostitute. A woman appears and becomes very close friends with the girl. However, their friendship does not last long. The girl goes back to the man.Kim Kok has long made many films with his twin brother Kim Sun under the name of Koksa. This movie, Exhausted, is in the same category of his previous works, which pointed out the allegory of historical images and exploitation with the help of many philosophers’ arguments including Marx’s. The movie is filled with constant, boring, and serious tales about love, hurt, exploitation, and the relationship between men and women which is meant to be broken. (LEE Sang-yong)
