Nam Chul-woo is a poor fisherman living a simple but happy life with his wife and daughter on the north side of a river that divides the two Koreas. Every day he goes fishing on the river, where the checkpoint soldiers know him well and trust him not to cross the invisible border in the water. But one day his fishing net gets caught in the boat's engine, and Nam cannot stop himself from drifting into the South.
The Net is one of two films by Korean auteur Kim Ki-duk to be screened in the Festival’s program.
