“Women Who Kill Themselves”

During the Joseon era, virtuous women committed suicide to follow their deceased husbands. The film follows the journey of a young woman who is on the verge of killing herself to follow the fate of her dying husband. If she succeeds, she will be remembered as a virtuous woman in history.
