Going to Mars

화성에 가다

Overview

In May 5th, 1991 when the 10th murder case of Hwaseong serial killing occurred, a girl goes missing in Hwaseong (homophone of Mars in Korean). Then there is Chun-hee in Seoul, 2009, living with the eyes of the missing girl. With some help (?) from her father Chun-hee‘s corneas were donated to her in 1991. Yet corneas donation must happen postmortem, a gift coming from somebody’s death. Today Chun-hee works at a real estate agency, showing houses and lands for development. One day she is given the task of introducing lands in Hwaseong, a misfortunate place of past but being developed into a high-tech industrial city now. Then she finally sets foot there in Hwaseong.
