Yeong-hye and her spouse had a regular existence before to the nightmare. However, Yeong-hye makes the decision to cleanse her mind and give up meat consumption when shattering, blood-soaked visions begin to plague her dreams. Yeong-hye's choice to live more like a "plant" in a nation where social mores are rigorously adhered to is a startling act of defiance. Scandal, abuse, and alienation start to drive Yeong-hye farther into her fantasies as her passive rebellion takes on ever-more-scary and severe shapes. Her suddenly risky endeavour will carry Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically, tragically—far from her once-known self entirely in a total transformation of both mind and body.
