Ajo, a gangster who is not afraid of death, has a secret he does not want to reveal to anyone: He is impotent. This symptom becomes a source of anger and eventually triggers his violence towards everyone around him. He runs into a tough woman, Iteung, as an enemy while he is working on a contract job, and then falls in love with her. She also finds him attractive, as both of them suffer from childhood trauma. The two are soon married, but their troubled pasts continue to haunt them, and cast shadows on both of their happiness. Based on the novel of the same name by Eka Kurniawan, known as "the Quentin Tarantino of Indonesian literature," the film was well polished by renowned director Edwin. It won the Golden Leopard award at the Locarno Film Festival. Following the fast-paced story, flashbacks and black comedy, it is easy to fall into the bittersweet charm of the film, feeling like squeezing pus from wounds. (PARK Sungho)
