The course assignment is to write one poem by the end of the month-long course. One night, he invites all of them over without notifying Mi-ja, who nevertheless tries to be a gracious host, offering them a snack before they disappear into Wook's bedroom. The program was edited entirely from relaxing shots of nature, "a peaceful river, birds flying, fishermen on the sea – with soft new-age music in the background," and a vision for a possible feature film started to form.

That film also approached extreme cruelty with outward composure. There is perhaps something in the river. Mija (Yun Jung-hee) lives in a South Korean city, where she looks after her grandson, Jongwook , and is a care-giver for an old man who is half-paralyzed by a stroke.

[2] It tells the story of a suburban woman in her 60s who begins to develop an interest in poetry while struggling with Alzheimer's disease and her irresponsible grandson. But now Mija finds that she can no longer remember basic words and a doctor diagnoses the onset of Alzheimer's. She is told that the group of boys have repeatedly raped a girl, Agnes, over the past six months, before she jumped off a bridge into a river and drowned. Chang continued by noting how Lee's background as a novelist sometimes shows through, and that "[t]here are longueurs here... that could be trimmed, though overall this absorbing film feels considerably shorter than its 139 minutes. In “Poetry,” which won best screenplay honors last year at Cannes, we have a movie that is outwardly more calm.

The police arrests them. Mi-ja asks the elderly man for the money she needs, refusing to tell him what it is for.
