Logline

3-Iron

Tae-suk is homeless and lives like a phantom. His daily routine involves temporarily staying in houses and apartments he knows are vacant. He never steals from or damages his unknowing hosts' homes; he's like a kind ghost, sleeping in other people's beds, eating their food and repaying their unintended hospitality by doing the laundry or making small repairs. Sun-hwa was once a beautiful model, but she has aged living under the thumb of her abusive husband, who keeps her imprisoned in their affluent, expensively decorated house. Tae-suk and Sun-hwa are bound by fate to cross paths. They meet when Tae-suk breaks into Sun-hwa's house and they instantly recognize that they are soul mates. As if bound by unseen ties, they find themselves unable to separate and quietly accept their bizarre new destiny.
