The 69-ton fishing vessel Jeonjinho fails to catch as much fish as its crew had hoped. To make more money, the crew decides to smuggle thirty illegal immigrants into Korea. But things don';t go according to plan... During a stormy night, the fishing vessel stops in the middle of ocean and allows another boat to transfer its stowaways onto their ship. A young woman, Hong-Mae, falls into the ocean, but Dong-Sik jumps into the water to save her. Their nightmare journey begins.
In any case, "Haemoo" is a picture worth seeing for its thrills, scrupulous tension-building and mischievous genre twists that will have you gasping one second, and laughing the next.
