Based on Kim Seungok’s short story “Record of a Journey to Mujin”, the film is well noted as having been influenced by literary modernism. Married to the daughter of a pharmaceutical company president and living in comfort, a man visits his hometown, Mujin, which is famous for mists. In the home filled with a past he wants to forget, he is conflicted when a woman begs him to take her to Seoul. It is also director Kim Soo-yong’s most prominent work, portraying a man’s inner struggles through subjective flashbacks and narration. Shin Seong-il partnered with Yoon Jeong-hee in many other films.(NAM Dong-chul)
