Finding your next obsession
Finding your next obsession

An elderly man brings home a broken fan and wrestles with it for hours until the blades spin again. He has put the blades on backward, but the wind is still cool. "My illness is the same as this fan." Suffering from hearing loss and mental disability from a fall, he collects discarded objects in a small patch of woods in the heart of Haeundae and builds a world of his own. His granddaughter, who enrolled at art college only to lose the desire to draw, begins instead to capture her grandfather’s world with her camera. His world is full of useless things and incomprehensible happenings, but she willingly joins him on his outings.
