Yongho stares down an oncoming train as twenty years of his life flash before his eyes. Proceeding to move backward in time, Lee Chang-dong's acclaimed second directorial feature rewinds the protagonist's loss of humanity – from his self-hating middle age through his callow teens. The moments in between these events mirror South Korea’s traumatic political history during the late 20th century.
