So Young, a "bacchus lady" (street-based sex worker in her 60s), is well known for 'doing it so well she can almost kill you' among elderly men. This is her way to make a living. She lives a hard but peaceful life with her neighbors like her transgender landlady Ti Na, poor figurine artist Do Hoon, the half Korean half Filipino boy who she met at a clinic and thoughtlessly brought home Min Ho and others. One day she learns that Song, one of her regular clients, had a stroke and when she visits him he begs her to kill him. Struggling between guilt and compassion, she finally decides to help him. And this is how the story begins. While following the request of customers who want to stop living a hard life, So Young falls into deeper chaos. Edit Translation

A very deep, dark and sad story about Korean society.
This movie focuses on different social issues present in Korea, especially poverty and loneliness among the aging society.
All characters are very well written, and the acting of the cast is fantastic.
Only the storyline with the boy has some plot holes in my opinion.
The storyline might be too slow-paced for some, but to me it was perfect.
You should definitely watch this movie, if you are into Korean indie and arthouse movies.
