It looks like animals where harmed in the making

It was an interesting film but upsetting about the animals harmed in this film. The film is about a mute woman who rents out little fishing platoons with a little house to sleep in on the top of the platoon.

The guests to this place are a mixture of fishermen who come there for a break, group of men who get the local prostituted over for a visit or criminals who hiding away from the law.

The woman who runs this, provides a service in the day time ferrying the guest, prostitutes and food around to the fishing platoons and prostituted her body in the nighttime.

She meets this man who came with his bird to kill himself, but due to an intervention by her he did not proceed. She seems to be obsessed with him quite from the start.

Possibly due to the lonely life she leads she is quite strange in her behavior, properly because she just sees the bad in people there constantly.

The film was well made and it shows more the lower and poorer end of Korea, which I find always quite interesting and less K-Drama like.

There are quite a few people who are loosing their life for various reasons in this.

Also the ML and FL have a tendency to hurt themself and each other in I would say unusual ways.

I would probably not rewatch this film as I did not like the animal cruelty, from kicking the dog, to drown a bird to just kill and make fish suffer unnecessarily.

But the acting was very good all around from all the cast.
