Hong-san and Chong-Hae both get involved with women under the thumbs of oppressive Frenchmen. While Hong-San is drawn into the milieu of a stripper, Chong-Hae takes a fancy to a Korean artist. Inspired by Camille Claudel, the talented sculptress portrayed by Isabelle Adjani in Bruno Nuytten's award-winning Camille Claudel (1988), the Korean performance artist paints herself white and then stands nude in various Paris public squares.

This film was shown at the 1998 Vancouver Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
