How it feels

Set in the outskirts and slums of Seoul, the film follows a disconnected group of characters. They include a grandmother divorcing her dead husband, a mortuary worker mother, a gambling-addicted father, and a teenage cabaret singer son. Sparse dialogue and slow pacing gradually reveal their stories before a shocking ending unites them.
