Hunger

I could go to the police station and confess.
I could find a priest and confess.
I ate a person. Is that sin?

ROMEO & JULIET meets THE VEGETARIAN in the Korean cult classic phenomenon that sold half a million copies

When writer Dam discovers her boyfriend, Gu, murdered on the street, she cradles his corpse to her chest and tells him one last story. A string of monologues looping between this realm and the next blossoms into the love story of two soulmates living a life starved of luck until death do them part - or part by part. . .

At the end, Dam confesses: she has been slowly eating the corpse cradled in her arms, which she has lovingly washed, embalmed, and chosen to bury in herself - where he will live - forever. . .

At once romantic and horrific, HUNGER is a philosophically thrilling love story cutting to the very heart of our savage wrestle with death.
