The Vegetarian

Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker, she is a dutiful wife. But their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, commits a shocking act of subversion: she refuses to eat meat. Thus begins a disturbing and thrilling psychological drama about taboo, desire, rebellion and fantasy.

The Vegetarian is a haunting masterpiece about one woman's desire for another mode of existence.
