Original subtitles

My sister,

I heard a voice that called me,

so I just went there.

But when I got there,

the sound just disappeared.

So I was just standing there and waiting for it.

My body was melting into the ground

because of the rain.

I had no choice but

to sprout from the ground.

Can I talk into Yeong-hye just one more time?

I'll give you until 2 o'clock.

If you convince her, then please let our nurses know.

Restricted Area

How's she holding up now?

She tried to pull out her lV,

so we had to put her into the recovery room.

We gave her a sedative to replace the lV.

I wondered how she could be so strong with that bony body.

So, is she staying in the recovery room now?

No, she woke up a little while ago,

and moved into the general ward.

Yeong-hye.

I've got some canned peaches.

You always liked them.

You only ate this, even during peach season

Iike a child.

Smell it. Don't you want to try one?

What are you doing there?

Do you hear me?

What's wrong, honey?

Huh?

I had a dream.

Dream?

What are you talking about?

Do you even know what time it is?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, Miss. Lee, This is Min-ho Cho.

Yes, Mr. Cho.

Well, I'd like to remove my presentation

from the group exhibition.

What? What are you talking about?

I'm sorry for such a short notice.

I don't understand.

We have only two days left I can't believe this.

Are you kidding me?

Damn it! Why didn't you wake me up?

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you out of your mind?

Why are you throwing all these away?

Hello? Yes, I'm really sorry.

I've got an urgent thing to do at home.

Sure. I will get there as soon as possible.

Yes, yes I am terribly sorry.

So,

are you telling me you canceled the exhibition?

Are you insane?

My work is too old-fashioned.

I'm sorry to say this, but

are you not going to work anymore?

It's been two years since you showed your last work.

Don't you need money for a living?

Right?

I admire your wife How lucky you are!

She doesn't nag you, right?

You haven't changed a bit.

Well, that's why I liked you.

Your nickname was 'Priest Cho.'

Conscious and religious man!

That's the way you were.

Since I was young, I've always felt a sort of...

respect for you.

Min-ho.

What's the problem?

What is it?

Huh?

With a faithful wife and a lovely son,

you can do whatever you want.

You are the happiest person in the world.

Don't you think so?

So, you threw all meat away just because of your dream?

All of it?

Make me a fried egg, please.

Listen, I am really exhausted. I haven't eaten anything today.

- I threw all the eggs away. - What?

I stopped the milk delivery as well.

Now are you going to tell me that I can't have meat?

I can't keep that in the fridge any more.

I can't stand it.

It's for you.

Yes, excuse me.

Can I help you?

Gil-soo? What's going on?

I was about to call Yeong-hye.

We'll celebrate my father's birthday

and have a house-warming party.

All the family will be gathered.

You are coming, right?

Yeong-hye? What happened?

Are you eating like this every day?

Yeah.

I can't even stand the smell of meat.

Then, you feed Gil-soo like this every day?

He usually comes home after having dinner outside.

Mother will be upset if she finds out what you're doing.

Seriously, you're not going to eat any meat?

Until when?

What's wrong with you?

People need a certain amount of nutrition.

If you want to be a vegetarian,

then you should plan a proper meal.

Look at your face.

I haven't slept lately.

Why?

Because of dreams.

What dreams?

Give me a minute...

What's the matter with you these days?

I'm just tired.

See? That's why you need some meat.

You weren't like this before.

Actually...

Actually, what?

The smell...

What smell?

The smell of meat...

I can smell it... from your body.

What?

What the fuck are you talking about?

I've just had a shower!

I can smell it from every pore of your body.

- Why don't you join us? - Sure, thanks.

Did you make all this by yourself?

I've just prepared one by one for days.

I made seasoned oyster for Yeong-hye.

She always liked it,

but she doesn't even touch it.

Yeong-hye, I've told you hundreds of time, how come...

Look at you.

Are you really going to hurt yourself

by eating only vegetables?

Stop that stupid vegetable thing!

I could understand if there was no food.

I don't get it.

Listen to your mother, will you?

Monks in temples can live without meat

since they train themselves in nature.

But people like us, we need a balanced meal.

you know?

Alright, try this one, sweetheart.

Eat it, Yeong-hye.

I don't eat meat.

You don't like this?

You liked it since you were little.

You told me that you wanted to eat this every day.

Yeah, it reminds me of Yeong-hye

every time I see oysters.

Go on. I am waiting.

No, I don't want to.

Enough is enough!

How many times do I have to tell you?

Just eat it!

I don't eat meat.

Dear, eat it. Try it just once.

It's all for your sake.

Father,

I can't have it.

Father!

Come here!

Gil-soo and Yeong-ho, you two come here!

Yes.

- Hold her from both sides. - What?

If she eats this one, she can have it again.

Who can live without meat in this world?

Please, just eat it.

Why don't you just say yes and at least try it?

Eat it! Eat! Eat! Eat!

Father!

Father, please Stop it!

- Just eat it, will you? - Open your mouth! Eat!

Get out of the way!

- Yeong-hye, please... - Yeong-hye.

- Put it down! - Honey, what's wrong?

- No, please... - Are you crazy?

Yeong-hye.

Drop your knife...

- Yeong-hye. - Yeong-hye, please...

No, please...

What are you waiting for? Bring a towel. Hurry up!

Okay.

Yeong-hye, please...

- Gil-soo! Get the car! - Yes, yes...

When you're drunk, just go to bed!

Do you have to make this kind of mess?

Yeong-hye. it's not a big deal.

Listen to music and go to sleep, okay?

Be quiet! Damn you! Stop talking! Okay?

What? Are you going to hit me again? Go on. Kill me...

I don't want to live this life anyway.

Shut up!

You make me sick! Go to hell!

Shut the fuck up!

How dare you talk back to your husband? You bitch!

For God's sake! I am the victim here.

- I am the victim. - You want to be dead?

What's wrong with you?

Is it that hard to have just one normal day?

Where is it?

Bullshit.

Damn you!

How dare you spit such things out to me?

I'll beat you to death!

Go ahead! Let it out!

Let's see if you can still speak after this...

Come on! Say something!

Yes, right! Kill me!

Go ahead!

Damn dog! You dare to bite your master, huh?

Yeong-hye...

It's almost done. You'll be okay.

You should finish all of your meal,

and your wound will be better soon.

Why don't you go home by yourself?

I want to see her doctor after she wakes up.

I guess Yeong-ho can't leave because of Ji-woo.

I see.

Well...

wait a moment.

Buy a new shirt at the store.

It's downstairs.

Honey, what are you doing now?

It's so hot in here...

Why? Is it just me?

By the way, What did Gil-soo say to you?

In fact, he told me first.

He doesn't know what to do

since he has a business trip to Japan.

I think he is trying to keep away from Yeong-hye...

Even if she stays with us for a while,

I don't know what to do with her.

Okay, take care. Drive safe.

You too.

Rock-Paper-Scissors.

It's too big.

Okay then, use your fork.

Stop playing with your food.

Dry here and there and your hair...

What a handsome boy!

Let's put on your pants.

The Mongolian spot is still there.

When does it disappear?

Well, I have no idea.

Yeong-hye had it until twenty years old.

Until twenty?

She might still have it now.

Well, It's done.

- I won. - Yes, you won.

- Honey, lunch is ready. - Alright, I'm coming.

Drive safe.

Oh, you're here.

I wasn't expecting anyone on Sunday.

I got bored at home.

I'm going to make coffee. Do you want some?

Sure...

No.

Hello, my son!

- Did you have a good day? - You're late.

It's time to take your medicine.

- No, I won't. - You little...

Take it!

Have you had a dinner?

- I am asking you. - Yeah, kind of...

What do you mean? You should eat properly.

You want to have dinner or not?

Well, I said I already have.

I'm concerned about Yeong-hye,

and I can't reach you...

What happened to her?

After all, they decided to get divorced.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, I can understand Gil-soo but I'm disappointed.

I think marriage is so meaningless!

Do you want me to see her?

Really?

She is living all alone and that concerns me.

I asked her to live with us many times, but she never listens.

Maybe she will listen to you.

Well, she doesn't care who she is talking to.

How come all this happened...

I'll call her tomorrow.

- Do you need her number? - No, I already have it.

I am supposed to meet Gil-soo tomorrow.

Can you come with me?

Sure.

She seems to be fine but...

Her blank stare's getting worse

from all the anti-psychotic medication...

Nothing's changed yet.

But now she only sees a doctor on a regular basis.

She's getting better.

I see... She hasn't shown any strange behavior yet.

I've suffered through all this.

Seriously, don't you think I am the victim here?

I think she's getting better. We should wait and see.

That woman will depend on a husband like that.

If you were me, Could you live with her forever?

Well, I am sorry...

Yeong-hye...

Sorry... The door was open I thought you weren't here.

It's okay. I don't mind.

When I'm alone,

I'm more comfortable this way.

- I've got nothing to serve you. - Never mind.

Let's have those fruits.

Alright.

You don't have to visit me.

Huh?

I mean you don't need to care about me.

I'm looking for a job again.

My doctor told me not to stay alone all the time.

I'm considering getting a job at the department store.

I had a job interview last week.

Did you? How about working at your sister's shop?

She said...

She'd have to pay an employee anyway.

You can trust each other.

Also, she'd feel better if you were around.

It would be better than working at the department store.

She's worried about you so bad.

- Help yourself. - Oh, yes. You too.

Well, let's go for a walk.

What for?

Let's just take a walk and talk.

I will think about what you suggested.

No, not that.

I have something to ask of you.

Well...

Can you do the modeling?

You have seen my exhibition before, right?

Yes.

It's similar to that, but video work.

It wouldn't take long.

But...

You need to be naked.

And then I will paint on your body.

And?

Stay still, until the filming is finished.

Are you going to paint on my body?

I'll paint flowers.

It wouldn't be tough.

It just takes one or two hours...

And we can do it whenever you are free.

Where?

I'd rent my friend's studio.

And it's a secret from your sister.

What did she say?

She said she would think about it.

Alright, great. Thanks.

You don't sleep?

Go to bed. I've got something to read.

I was surprised

when you asked me to lend my studio.

Wow! Isn't this too big for yourself?

I don't like small space and

the rent is cheaper than I expected.

A photographer used to work here.

Min-ho.

By the way, can I ask what you're going to do?

I'll tell you later.

Okay.

I've just cleaned and painted here.

It's in good shape now.

I have a class to teach. I have to go.

Tell me whenever you need a studio.

It's usually empty during the day.

I owe you one. Thanks a lot.

- Yes. - It's me.

Yeah, I'm listening.

I might be a little bit late tonight.

The part-timer clerk didn't show up again.

You-jin is also off today.

Well, we need to pick Ji-woo up by seven.

I can't make it until 9 o'clock.

Then, I will ask the neighbor to take care of him until 9 o'clock.

That would be fine.

Take off your clothes.

Take off...

Do you want me to sit down?

Yeah. Sit towards the wall.

Was it hard?

I was just lying on the floor.

Does this come off with water?

Ah, that one?

It won't go away easily.

Unless you try a few times.

I want to keep this.

By the way...

How come you don't eat meat?

I have always been wondering.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

It's okay.

But you might not understand.

It's because of dreams.

Dreams?

I don't eat meat because of dreams.

What kind of dreams?

- Face. - Face?

It's me.

Yes, he's sleeping.

I think he ate dinner.

He was sleeping when I came back.

Well, now that he's sleeping,

you know...

I will go to my studio.

I need to finish something.

He won't wake up. He's sound asleep.

You know he never wakes up during the night.

Do you hear me?

What brought you here at this time?

I didn't think you would come today.

Well, I've got something to do. Does it take long?

Not long. This camera drives me crazy.

I was about to wrap it up.

Yeong-hye. Did you sleep well?

Well... I'm wondering...

Have you washed off the paint on your body?

No, I haven't.

Can you leave it until tomorrow?

I haven't finished yet.

I think I need to shoot one more time.

I haven't washed it off because I want to keep it.

I don't dream any more with this painting on my body.

I want you to paint it again if it fades away later.

Sure. Then why don't you come again tomorrow?

All right.

By the way, there will be another man.

He will also be naked and have flowers painted on his body.

Is that okay?

- Clean up before you leave. - Okay, bye.

Bye.

Hello? Yes, where are you?

How is your work going?

Ah, not yet?

I got it.

Take it easy.

- She's late. - Yeah...

I tried to keep the painting while I was washing my hair.

What should we do now?

Let her sit on your lap.

Like this?

No, face to face.

Pull her up close to you.

Good.

Keep going.

Good.

Lay him down there.

Take it easy and just be natural.

Try to touch her breasts.

Hold her back.

Move your body as if you are having sex.

You know what...

Can you actually do it?

What?

Are you talking about making porn now?

You don't have to if you don't want to.

But is it possible to...?

- I quit. - Hey, Sang-min.

You can't leave like this.

I understand. I totally understand.

I am an artist, too.

But this is not right. What about her?

I don't think she is a prostitute or something.

Even if so, you shouldn't do this.

All right. I'm really sorry.

Why don't we try one more time like we did before, huh?

Now, on top of her body.

Try to move your body.

Are you done?

Not yet. This is the last one.

Now lay her down back side.

This is the last time.

It's the most important scene so please don't ruin it.

Listen.

Stop it before it gets filthy.

I understand how porn actors would feel.

I feel cheap.

It's not like I don't understand you.

Don't get me wrong.

I realized that I'm more of

an ordinary person than I thought.

I accepted this out of curiosity,

but I can't stand this anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why are you laughing?

I am all wet.

No, don't.

Why not? Because I am your brother in law?

- It's not like that. - You said you're all wet.

Did you like that guy?

No, I mean...

Flowers...

Flowers?

I really wanted to have sex.

I had never wanted to do it so much before.

The flowers all over his body...

That was all. That was the only reason.

Then if I have flowers on my body,

will you accept me?

Ji-woo, come here.

Play Rock-Paper-Scissors with me.

Rock-Paper-Scissors. Wow, You won.

This is your prize.

Here.

Wait for a while.

I'll be back soon.

What's up at this hour?

Let's go to your studio.

I need your help.

What about it?

So beautiful.

It's amazing how you came up with this.

But, do you think you can present this one?

Isn't it too much change for you?

I like it. Much better than mine.

I tried to keep your style as possible as I could.

But I can still see my style.

I've never felt like this before.

But looking at you with the flowers all over your body,

I feel sorry for you.

Something smells good.

The scent of paint.

Subtitle by Subtitle by

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

May I turn the light on?

Why?

I want to see it clearly.

Don't cover it.

Looks nice.

Wait a second.

I wish this were on my tongue.

What?

This Mongolian spot.

How come you still have it?

I don't know.

I thought everybody had it too.

One day,

when I went to a public bath,

I was the only one who had it.

Am I not going to have dreams anymore?

Dream?

Oh, the dreams of the face.

What kind of face?

Whose face?

It's always different.

Sometimes,

it's a familiar face.

Sometimes,

it's a strange face.

Sometimes, it's a bloody face...

or a rotten corpse...

I couldn't reach Yeong-hye...

so I just dropped by on my way to work.

Let me explain. I know it's hard to understand...

I've called an ambulance.

What?

Both you and Yeong-hye

need therapy.

You're telling me that

I need to be committed to a mental hospital?

Bastard!

How dare you touch her... my helpless, poor sister...

Sister.

Yes. Yeong-hye.

Have you talked to my doctor?

Yes, I have.

- He said you refused to eat... - Did he say

my internal organs are all deflated?

Right?

I'm not an animal anymore.

I don't need any food

as long as there's sunshine.

What are you talking about?

Do you really think you became a tree or something?

How can a plant possibly talk or think?

You're right.

I won't be able to talk soon,

and my thoughts will be gone.

In no time. I mean it.

Are you trying to kill yourself?

Tell me you're not.

If you really want to be a tree,

you should eat and go on, right?

Please.

Let me out of here.

Please.

I don't want to be here.

You are not even able to walk.

You are staying alive, relying on the lV.

Are you going to eat if you go home?

Promise me, and I will let you out of here.

I thought you'd be different.

What do you mean?

Doctors...

Nurses...

And you...

Everyone is the same.

You don't even try to understand me.

You just give me medicine and injections.

Otherwise,

You are going to die!

Why?

Am I not allowed to die?

Yeong-hye.

Are you crazy?

Are you really crazy?

Are you crazy?

Look at you.

You're dying...

Iying in this bed.

You're just dying.

Your sister has both

schizophrenia and anorexia,

which are rarely seen together.

There is no particular reason why she refuses to eat.

And the medicine doesn't work at all.

So...

We will try to put some rice gruel

through the tube to keep her alive.

We're expecting her to get better,

but if she doesn't, you should move her to intensive care unit.

Then...

Sister,

did you know that?

I didn't know...

I always thought trees stood up straight.

But now I realize that

all trees are holding on to the ground with two arms.

Yes, they're standing on their hands.

In my dream

I was standing on my hands...

Leaves grew on my body,

and roots came out from my hands

and penetrated into the ground.

Flowers were just about to bloom between my legs

So I spread my legs

and opened wide...

Yeong-hye!

- Wait outside. - No! Stop it!

Head nurse!

You don't want to see this. Wait outside.

You'll be alright, baby. It's okay.

Yes, it will be over soon.

Stay here.

She is getting more excited because of you.

No, no.

Please, be patient.

Please, hold on. Yes, relax, relax, yes.

Please, calm down. Relax. Hold her chin right.

Gosh. It's blocked.

Her uvula's blocked the esophagus.

One more time.

One more time.

Faster this time. Hold her tight!

Yes.

We are almost done.

Oh, yes, yes.

Yes, relax.

Okay. I got it. Tape it.

It can be done easily, why did you make so much of it?

We did it.

We will make her to sleep because she might throw up.

We are trying to help you.

Now it's done.

- Look, look! - Pull it out, pull it out!

- You are not allowed be here. - Let me go! Let me go!

Pull it out!

Stop it, please. Stop it.

It's okay. It's okay. Everything is fine.

Yeong-hye...

My sister...

this might be a dream.

While we are dreaming, the dream seems to be everything.

But when we wake up,

we realize it's not everything.

So...

someday...

when we wake up,

then...
