Twenty-year-old X leaves his home in the industrial district of Guro and enters military service. He deserts from the army and sets out to look for his father, who decided in the meantime to return to his native Philippines. The final part of Roh's trilogy on environmental pollution is a brooding meditation on the breakdown of capitalism, the fatigue of materialistic civilisation, and the nostalgic desire for lost harmony and primary religious experience.
