Synopsis
Sa Bangji is a product of a union between a hardened criminal and a mentally disturbed woman. Sa Bangji is a hermaphrodite and he is taken in and cared for by a benefactor in a monastery. He meets a young widow, Lee So-sa, who comes to the temple to end her mourning period. Their meeting seems destined. They begin to share a kind of love that transcends physical pleasure. But their relationship is discovered by the elders of the family and So-sa betrays Sa Bangji. Sa Bangji barely escapes with her life and begins to roam from place to place. He soon meets a shaman priestess named Myo-hwa and plots to take revenge on those who wronged him. But Myo-hwa is killed by the men in the family and Sa Bangji reunites with So-sa. But they both decide to commit suicide when their relationship is put under harsh scrutiny by the family elders.
