Synopsis
Yeo-Jin is not yet twenty and lives with her father, a widower.
Her best friend, Jae-Young, is a prostitute. Yeo-Jin is something
of a manager to Jae Young; she keeps an eye on all her customers
as well as her earnings. One day, Jae-Young falls in love with one
of her clients and decides to arrange a dinner for all three of
them. Yeo-Jin is furious about such intimacy and, as a result, Jae-Young
cancels the dinner. Shortly afterwards, Yeo-Jin makes a fateful
mistake. As usual, she stands on the look-out while Jae-Young disappears
into a motel with a young man. However, this time, she fails to
notice the police busy searching for underage prostitutes. To avoid
arrest, Jae-Young leaps out of the window and is fatally injured.
As she lies dying, she asks Yeo-Jin to fetch the young man she had
invited to dinner. At first Yeo-Jin hesitates, but then she agrees.
However, the young man refuses to see Yae-Young unless Yeo-Jin goes
to bed with him. Yeo-Jin does so for Yae-Young’s sake, but when
the pair arrives at the hospital, Jae-Young is already dead. From
this moment on, Yeo-Jin meets and sleeps with all of Jae-Young’s
clients. She doesn’t want to earn a living, on the contrary, she
returns their money. One day, Yeo-Jin’s father discovers his daughter’s
secret existence. Furious, he starts to beat up her clients. But
then comes the moment when he punches too hard . . .
