Jung is a lone wolf who works in a morgue. His life hasn't been easy and his health makes it even harder: He suffers from tuberculosis and arthritis, and he cannot stand straight due to his hunchback. He considers his job, which consists mainly of washing and dressing the dead bodies, to be a very noble activity, and he devotes all his energy to his work. Jung's stereotypical life is disrupted by an incident that results in renewing the relationship with his step-brother, Dong-ba. He loves his younger sibling, but their relationship has been highly imbalanced since their childhood. However, Jung decides to fulfil Dong-ba's biggest life dream: to become a woman. Korean director, Jeon Kuy-hwan’s fifth feature film concentrates on marginal social topics, just like his previous pictures. It was awarded the Queer Lion at the 69th Venice Film Festival for the best film with homosexual and queer topic. (Febiofest)
