Overview :Tae-suk is homeless and lives like a phantom. His daily
routine involves temporarily staying in houses and apartments he knows
to be vacant. He never steals from nor damages his unknowing hosts'
homes; rather, he is like a kind ghost, sleeping in other people's beds,
eating a little food out of strangers' refrigerators and repaying their
unintended hospitality by doing the laundry or making small repairs.
Sun-hwa was once a beautiful model, but she has become withered living
under the shadow of her abusive husband, who keeps her imprisoned in
their affluent, expensively decorated house. Tae-suk and Sun-hwa are
bound by fate to cross paths though their invisible existences. They
meet when Tae-suk breaks into Sun-hwa's house and they instantly
recognize the similarity of their souls. As if bound by unseen ties,
they find themselves unable to separate and quietly accept their bizarre
new destiny.
