Summary "The Whale, set in a remote Jeju village in the 1950s, follows the lives of three mythical characters: Geumbok, an extremely ambitious woman who has been chasing an indescribable thrill ever since she first saw a whale crest in the ocean; her mute daughter, Chunhui, who communicates with elephants; and a one-eyed woman who controls honeybees with a whistle. Brimming with surprises and wicked humor, The Whale is a rare, cinematic satire about modernity and myth by one of the most original voices in South Korea"-- Provided by publisher.
