CAMELLIA
Kim Chu-Ja
- Hello! - Is it Wang-geun?
Yeah, who is it?
It's me.
Who?
Me.
Are you... Chun-ha?
Yeah, honey,
I've just arrived!
That's great!
Chu-ja likes it. Hold on, Chu-ja is here.
Mom.
Mom,
Yeah, there are beautiful flowers.
We are with papa's friend now.
You come here after giving birth to baby.
Papa is going to talk with you.
Yeah.
Didn't I tell you?
I came with a friend.
An old friend from church.
Male.
I will be back tomorrow.
Don't worry about Chu-ja. Just take care of yourself.
Yeah.
Hey, is the daughter's name, Chu-ja?
Kim Chu-ja?
Yes, you used to sing Kim Chu-ja's song.
You still like it now?
¢Ü when would a petal bloom and fade.
¢Ü I can't endure memories of ¢Ü those days.
Bogil Island... it's been seven years?
You idiot. It's been nine years
since the summer of '95.
It's the same -- it's the past.
I was surprised to see you on TV.
I was surprised too.
At your sudden contact.
Dual fighting,
isn't it scary?
Well,
It was alright when I fought in the ring.
but in case of watching myself fighting on TV
I was scared.
Strange?
Jin-sung and Joo-hee were here
on June 15, 2003. Why are you not me, but you.
Why did you leave me
without any notice?
Have you no confidence like that?
He would ask him like that all the time. He never knew my mind.
At that time, I frankly had no confidence.
We met first at church when we were high school students.
He was a leader in church.
He was popular with all the people.
Because he was good at everything, studying and basketball.
I started to go church at that time for the first time,
I was breathless when I saw him.
One day, after finishing worship, I sat alone in the chapel
playing the piano. He sat beside me.
We played the piano together.
We went together to movies, Karaoke room, and video room.
We realized that we loved each other.
One day, in the chapel, fucking,
an elder found us, and he was mad.
The elder, who looked like a frog, shouted at us to be penitent
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman
that is detestable. Leviticus 18:22
It was OK until then...
but, the frog told on me to my father.
I'm was screwed.
Father said I'm crazy,
and made me get an examination for mental illness,
taking me to a mental hospital.
Fucking frog jerk...
I came out of the hospital after several months,
I couldn't meet Wang-geun.
He never knows that I was sent to that hospital.
Wang-geun liked it when I sang Kim Chu-ja's song.
Kim Chu-ja's song reminds me of him.
¢Ü you want to see me?
¢ÜI want to see you.
¢Ü how could I forget you.
¢Ü I couldn't forget you till I die
¢Ü I can't sleep
¢Ü cause I still long for you
¢Ü I long for you
¢Ü please come back
¢Ü though you have left, ¢Ü come back again.
¢Ü please come back to me.
- Wow, I win. Let's play again. - Alright.
You are a mighty girl.
Ah! I win this time! One more time.
- Again? - Yes.
Papa, you can get revenge.
Huh? Papa...
papa... huh?
Papa...
Are you happy with your married life?
Though sometimes I feel sorry for my wife,
it's not bad.
Happy to care of Chu-ja,
I said are you happy with your married life?
Are you happy with your married life!
Yeah, I am happy.
One day, Chun-ha disappeared suddenly.
I called him and waited near his house.
It was of no use.
After that, we couldn't contact each other.
Marriage?
Marriage is...
It was my father's
long-cherished desire.
So I married.
So, I met her.
She is just a kind-hearted woman.
Chu-ja, watch out.
Sometimes, I feel sorry for her.
But I'm happy my own way.
Chu-ja makes me happy.
Chun-ha had sung Kim Chu-ja' song very well.
His nickname was Kim Chu-ja in my church.
He suddenly appeared again.
What should I do with this situation?
¢Ü I write a letter to you
¢Ü a letter that I can't send
¢Ü the night I can't sleep
¢Ü because of memories with you
¢Ü your eyes, nose, lips
¢Ü drew in tears all night.
¢Ü your eyes, nose, lips dove into my heart.
¢Ü your eyes, nose, lips
Be careful!
Come on! Papa.
Let's take picture here.
Smile! Okay, one two!
Come on, uncle! Let's take picture together.
Hurry.
Ready? One, Two.
Papa, one more,
One, Two.
Papa, I wanna take picture of you. Be with uncle.
- I don't want to be photographed. - A photo! I want a photo of you.
No thanks.
Come closer.
Sis! come closer.
More!
Smile!
Why your taxi is so big?
Because it can carry many people and load a lot.
Then I can make lots of money.
- Are you a good fighter? - I don't like to fight.
It is bad to fight.
My father does martial arts.
Chu Ja! Don't
Papa, give me some water.
Hold on,
I will shout unless you kiss me now.
I said I will shout unless you kiss me now.
Papa...
Yeah, I am here.
when would a petal bloom and fade I can't endure memories of those days.
You're here for the honeymoon, right?
Are you from Seoul?
I lived there until a couple of years ago.
I never got a chance to revisit Seoul since I left.
So I think about it from time to time.
DRIFTING ISLAND
Do you have a car?
- Which car? - It's a six-person van.
- Sorry? - It's a six-person van.
20,200 won, please. How many people?
No one else? Are you alone?
One ticket, please.
One, please. I am a resident of Yesok-li.
Yeon-hu! I'm back.
Yeon-hu!
I'm back!
Is it you?
Where have you been?
I was out for a walk.
From now on, don't even think about touching my things.
Come on, don't be ridiculous!
I'm writing my name on my things.
What's wrong with you?
I told you I went out for a walk!
Are you so feel heavy?
You...
What did you say to me when we first came here?
I don't remember it.
You wanted us to be together forever,
right?
The stew's boiling over.
Shall we...
go back to Seoul?
Don't be silly.
Can you please give me the ball?
- Here. - Thank you.
Are you playing soccer?
- Can you please take a picture of us? - Yeah.
Thank you.
Ah, well...
- Press here. - OK.
One two.
- How are you? - Not bad.
Why?
What's the weather going to be like tomorrow?
It's not like I'm a weather guy.
It'll be fine, Why do you ask every time?
Customers always ask it...
Anyhow, they say it's going to be sunny. So no worry.
I'll see you later, then.
- We have a coffee together sometime. - Sure.
Are you leaving?
Take it.
Yeon-hu.
for me...
Back when we came down here together,
I thought it would be fine if I stayed away from fucking people.
You and me...
I thought things would be just fine as long as we're together.
Poor thing.
It's going to be fine tomorrow.
You're drunk. Just get some sleep.
It's going to be fine tomorrow.
Can't you remember?
how hardly we came here?
I don't know what's wrong with you.
I just don't get it.
You're drunk.
yeon-hu.
Have you come here for a picnic with me?
Sounds like it.
Do you remember?
When we first came down here, things were so much better.
I didn't feel lonely at all.
But I started to feel that I was alone at some point.
You hate me?
Yes, you do.
I thought it would be ok...
Have I changed?
But I guess I'm no better than others.
I'm sorry.
Good night.
Brother.

LA TRAVIATA
Excuse me, could you tell me where the town office is?
Looking for a room to stay?
I have some business in town office first.
When is the last ferry?
At half past 5.
But it doesn't leave on time. Some people will be late as always.
It seems you need more information besides his name.
But that is the only thing I can get.
Then you'd better go to the police station.
I'll give you a ride. It's time to close for the post office.
- here. - Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Hyun- soo! Haven't you got something else?
You wanna stay here? Wait for a second.
Hyun- soo!
Kim Hyun-soo!
Did you come alone?
Would you like to have a look of the room?
This way please.
Excuse me.
This way please.
This is the most quiet one in town. Perfect place for a rest.
Why is a light here?
That's Sae-Yeon Jung, worth visiting.
Also there is an island called Sol,
you can have magnificent sunset-view there.
Go there later.
Take a rest then.
By the way, have we met somewhere before?
- I don't think so. - OK.
Make yourself at home.
What the hell is this?
- Finished? - What?
Finished?
Let me see.
Is it ok?
- Oh, - See?
Ain't I good with my hands?
I'm impressed.
Come puppy, time for lunch.
- Hey, well... hey! - Yeah
- Hey, don't you smell a rat? - What do you mean?
She seems to be here to die, I guess.
Be careful.
Alright. I will.
- Go away. Please - It's been a month!!
Go away.
You've come so far. I'll give you a lift. Hop on.
Hop on.
Haven't you caught anything?
Those fish are cleverer than expected. Come on, I'll take you home.
- I'm heavy. - It's alright.
Don't you feel tired?
She doesn't feel hungry? She skipped dinner as well.
Oh, yes.
I've been thinking about it,
I think there must be something melancholy about her.
Who isn't. So is everybody.
Still I can't understand why she is here alone.
Hey, what if she killed herself, leaving a dead note?
Mind your language!
Don't you remember a lady tried to kill herself
in another guest house once?
Hey,
Finish washing-up first.
Hello, are you there?
Excuse me. You are here. Have a good night.
What's up?
I was wondering if you were alright,
skipping dinner and everything. Can I help you with anything?
- No. - OK. Good night.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
Where can I have a drink?
All pubs around here close early in the evening.
Why don't you join us, if you don't mind?
No, I won't drink much.
We are just to wet our whistle either.
Please come and join us.
- Fine, isn't it? - Yes
It's new-brewed. Do you like it?
Haven't you got a fella? What brings you here alone?
It's not rare. Lots of people do.
From teenage girls to middle aged ladies.
I am seeking my own holiday here, a very special kind.
What is it?
See? I knew it.
What kind of holiday do you have in mind?
Billie holiday.
How does it taste?
Also I recommend you to have some abalone.
This island is famous for it.
Specially men love to internal organ, called 'Kea Woo'
- Are you from here originally? - Yes
No, he's been here just for a year.
He used to live in Seoul, but never to return.
He seems to be in love with this island.
I'll have a fag.
- You want one? - He quit.
I saw you in the ferry,
right?
I was surprised as you were so good looking.
- Really? - Stop flattering.
- He really believes it. - I wanna be an actor.
- Then I'll see you on telly someday? - Nope, on screen
- Actually he has no experience. - I will soon.
Have you read all these books?
No, I bought them all at a time in a second hand store.
So you have some pairs of a kind.
They must be new editions, I think.
You'd better go around Yoon-sun-do
That's the most famous place in this island,
How do I get there? By ship?

Find some candles.
- Fire. Here they are... - Hang on.

Have you ever been ill in your late teens?
How do you know that? I had an accident once.

You'll get married in middle 20's perhaps.
That's lovely.

Please have a look.
Quite unfaithful.
Yes, you can't be faithful to all the words of landladies here in island.
Not funny?

All the boys in this town love me.

But I love traveling all the way to visit you though.
I love being here, all the time waiting for you, too.

He's nothing to do with it.
- You goddamn crazy? - Go!! Go!!
Get in!!
Please get into the house.
You guys looked bloody happy.
I wasn't informed at all during the three years of marriage.
I wished to have a look of your face.
Less impressive than I imagined.
Scatter some petals on his grave, if you please.
Wait

Not mine either.
Good morning.
Let the broken glass replaced before you leave.
Honey,
What happened?
Tell me?

He didn't tell me a word about it.
He didn't tell me about it either for three years.
