As a sickly teenager, Sun-yi moves to the countryside for her health. There, she discovers a feral boy hiding in their yard. He cannot speak, behaves like an animal, and possesses incredible physical strength. Instead of turning him away, Sun-yi’s compassionate mother takes him in, naming him Chul-soo.
Her transition from a cold, isolated girl dealing with a chronic ailment to a protective, loving companion provides the emotional anchor of the movie.
