An isolated lake, where an old monk lives in a small floating temple. The monk has a young boy living with him, learning to become a monk. We watch as seasons and years pass by.
Taking place on the grounds of a floating monastery—a constructed set built on Jusanji Pond in the mountains of Cheongsong—Kim’s tranquilly lovely pentalogy film presents five sections from the lives of a novice Buddhist monk and his elder teacher, together illustrating the cycle of life and the handing down of knowledge from generation to generation on the monastery grounds.
Presented in Korean with English subtitles.
