This stunningly surreal drama stars Jung Jae-young as a suicidal modern man trapped on an island in the middle of the Han River. Like Robinson Crusoe he's forced to survive, but unlike Defoe's character this curious castaway finds new purpose in the eye of the Seoul storm and aims to avade outsiders at all costs. A voyeuristic hermit (think Hikikomori), played by Jung Ryeo-won, then takes notice of this new mad islander across the way, and eventually the two make contact and exchanged messages in a bottle and from the beachfront. It's cinematically crisp, funny and fantastical…Enjoy! [SPOILERS]
