SYNOPSIS: Tae-suk does house to house check by putting up flyers . When he comes back and the flyer is still up, it means that he got himself a place to stay in for the night. Actually, he is not a bad person. He doesn't get anything from the houses he breaks in. He even fixes broken things and does chores before he leaves. He takes pictures of the house to feel like he owns it.

Sun-hwa's married life is like hell. She gets beaten up everytime she doesn't do what her husband wants. Her miserable life came to an end when she accidentally met Tae-suk. Thinking that nobody is home, Tae-suk broke into her house. It was already late when he found out that Sun-hwa is quietly observing him. When the husband came back and beat her up, Sun-hwa decided to ran away with Tae-suk. They've been together since then.

In some weird reasons, Sun-hwa felt more secured with a stranger. As she tries to adapt to Tae-suk's lifestyle, she found a different person in him and learned to love him.

REVIEWS: I haven't seen a movie like this before. None of the main characters have said anything until the end. Oh, yeah, Sun-hwa said I love you to Tae-suk. It feels weird when the scenes have no dialogue. It's like I'm watching Charlie Chaplin in color. But in defense, the story is uniquely done. You get to guess what's going on in their minds. Their facial expressions alone show their emotions which makes their portrayal more effective. Besides, there's a saying that "action speaks louder than words", isn't it?
