How it feels

In 1930s South Korea, a sick and elderly German archaeologist returns to his ruined childhood home on a deserted beach. He escapes his decaying present by recalling memories of his parents and his lost love Young-ae, while the village sorceress and lepers around him mirror his own decline.
