Synopsis by Mark Deming

In this atmospheric supernatural thriller from Korea, Yong-hyun (Kim Myung-min) is a cab driver who is looking for a new place to live. He rents an apartment in a run-down building that's home to a handful of losers and eccentrics, one of whom tell Yong-hyun that his flat is haunted by the spirit of a previous tenant. Yong-hyun makes the acquaintance of Sun-yeong (Jang Jin-yeong), an attractive but seemingly disturbed woman, and one night she arrives at his door with an unusual request -- she's killed her husband, and wants some help burying his body. Yong-hyun reluctantly agrees, and soon the two have fallen into an affair. However, the spirits of the past still walk the halls of the building, and Yong-hyun discovers that a tragedy which happened 30 years before is repeating itself before his eyes.
