Plot

Kim Yun-ho, an illegitimate child and the stepson of an itinerant peddler, sees a woman's genitals for the first time at the age of seven. He sees female genitals for the second time in my fourth grade. Trying to hide his origins, Yun-ho acts like a jerk since childhood and becomes a womanizer. He drags himself to the bottom of society, enveloping himself in surrealism, outsiderness, and decadence.
