Na Mo is an installation artist in Beijing until one day he collapses of a cerebral infarction. In the short moment of his collapse, Na Mo sees Gap Sook who he married when he was 20. Ever since they parted 30 years ago, they never once reached out or even thought of each other. For the next two years Na Mo goes through physical therapy and is able to walk with a limp. When he returns to his workshop, he's offered an exhibit in Jeju by Joon Heon who he's known since he was 20. He sends part of his work to Jeju and remains to complete his work when his wife tells him she's leaving him. Na Mo is devastated, but remembers seeing Gap Sook in his thoughts and heads to Jeju Island with his passport. (Source: HanCinema) Edit Translation

Dog?!
First of all there is no dog as protagonist in the movie but there is an artist who dreams in black and white and without sound so his dreams could be his shadows. He is also preparing the exhibition but isn’t doing anything to prepare it?! He is just exploring the small town where he came after a long time. One of his wall painting is actually called: “The Dog Who Eats Shadows”.Still, I didn't get the movie. What dog? What shadows? Maybe I should check Chinese Mythology? Maybe dog (개) can be intended as a scumbag, a person who is less than human. And shadow (그림자) could be compared with the artist because a painting is 그림. So in my mind 그림자 could be a person who paints. Then we should see, who is the scumbag who eats our painter, haha. Sorry, this is just an interpretation since this movie is open to many interpretations. At least the guessing made me interested in the story.
I missed the story arc of an actress, a woman with a certain charisma that seems to be friendly with men around so she can be considered the one eating, dispersing shadows: the doubts, the sadness, the pains of others. I would like to know what happened to her.
And I want to add a warning that this is a mature film with 3 very brief scenes of nudity.
