A Living Being

On the remote island of Jeju, an old man, Moon Ho, spends his time pleasuring himself as a result of his Alzheimer’s disease. Yoon Jeong, who works in a nursing home as a caretaker, treats Moon Ho as if he was a child. One foggy day, Jong Kyu, a wanderer driving a muddy jeep across the island, is hit by Soon Hyun, a woman who has just registered the death of her husband, Moon Ho, years after his disappearance. After the accident, Jong Kyu takes Soon Hyun to a cafe where Yoon Jeong hangs out. Disclosing the fact that her husband used to send money every month to a woman named Yoon Jeong on the island of Jeju, Soo Hyun presses Yoon Jeong to speak about the nature of her relationship with Moon Ho. But Yoon Jeong says she has never heard the name of Moon Ho. The next day, Yoon Jeong finds Moon Ho appearing to have completely recovered from his dementia. He stands before her like an attractive man confessing a past in which he had been going out with a young woman behind his wife’s back.
