Summary: A boy is raised by a Buddhist monk in an isolated floating temple where the years pass like the seasons. In the midst of the Korean wilderness, a Buddhist master patiently raises a young boy to grow up in wisdom and compassion, through experience and endless exercises. Once the pupil discovers his sexual lust, he seems lost to contemplative life and follows his first love, but soon fails to adapt to the modern world, gets in jail for a crime of passion and returns to the master in search of spiritual redemption and reconciliation with karma, at a high price of physical catharsis... (imdb) On a lake set in a valley in the depths of the mountains sit an isolated dwelling. Here, a Buddhist monk and his young apprentice lives in harmony with nature. As the seasons change and the years pass, the carefree child apprentice becomes a young man filled with desire. Despite the continuing wisdom that his master imparts, the young man finds he is emotionally unprepared for the arrival of a young woman. Dealing with feelings of guilt and jealousy, he is forced to confront a darker side of his nature, and resolving to cleanse himself, he serves a penance in the form of religious mantra. Later, as winter comes and death makes way for new life, the man prepares to take on the role of teacher... Breathtaking and visually arresting, Kim Kiduk's unique and exquisite exploration of the human condition and its infinite complexities exploration of the human condition and its infinite complexities is one of the most captivating and thought-provoking films ever made
