A little boat turns up off Korea's east coast with two men aboard: Park Heung-sik, a fisherman missing from an ocean trawler, and a youth from Guatemala who was fleeing life on a vast rubbish dump. Both insist that something beyond reason carried them across the world. Nobody takes them at their word. Through the pair, a Korean and a foreigner, the story asks where the line between self and other lies.
