Description
Yeong-hye's ordinary life is disrupted by nightmares, invasive images of blood and brutality, forcing her to renounce eating meat altogether. This drastic act of independence sets off a chain of events that threatens to destroy her marriage and relationships with her loved ones. As her husband, brother-in-law, and sister try to reassert control, Yeong-hye becomes increasingly isolated, her mind and body subjected to ever more intrusive and perverse violations.
