A Haunting Portrayal of Motherhood in "The Lost Daughter"

A fisherman, Young-Chul, who lives on an island, arrives at a city in the hot summer to show a white shark to his friend, Joon-Goo. Joon-Goo who is busy gambling somewhere does not show up, and the shark in Young-Chul’s bag is going bad. Yoo-Soo, who Young-Chul ran into at a park is released from prison and wandering from street to street not knowing where he can find his house. A crazy woman, Eun-Suk praying for rain in the middle of the park under glaring sunshine starts to chase Young-Chul and Yoo-Soo. She thinks the stink of the rotting shark is her dead baby’s smell.
