Once upon a time, three men were shipwrecked and stranded on a deserted island while traveling in a turtle boat to fight a war against the Japanese. The older, more storied one is Mong-hwi, the younger, stronger, and more upright one is Chang-ryong, and the youngest, reckless one is Kkukswe. On the deserted island, their daily routine is the same: Breathe, sit, fight, build a campfire, and miss something. But when Kkukswe touches one of the abandoned bones, the mysterious nature of the island begins to unfold. Along with the antics of the characters and the sophistication of the screen composition, which are charming from the very beginning, strange legends, fantasies, and activities of time descend upon the three men. Isle of Snakes is a strange fantasy drama that overflows with humor, beauty, and imagination. (Busan International Film Festival)
