Description

Soon-young, a pregnant teenager on a taxi ride to the country, is joined by a mysterious passenger who begins a countdown to the moment when “the angels will descend.” After a blinding flash of light, Soon-young wakes up alone in the cab with a dead cell phone and a note telling her to stay put. Instead she ventures out into the barren landscape. Is this the apocalypse, is someone playing a trick on her, or is she going mad? “Cinematic clues that you're in one genre will steer you wrong time and again, as this gripping and deeply unsettling debut by newcomer Jo Sung-hee unwinds its small, personal tale of apocalypse with menace and dark humor” (Frako Loden, San Francisco International Film Festival). (Jo Sung-hee, 2010, 110 min., Korean with English subtitles, video)
