Combining fantasy with stark realism, Lee Chang-Dong's magnificent film is both beautiful and tragic as it explores the theory issue of how people with disabilities are marginalised. Stars Sol Kyung-Gu and Moon So-Ri give their finest performances as the mentally ill ex-con Jong-Do (Sol) who falls for a young woman with cerebral palsy (Moon), would-be lovers who are sidelined by society.
