Screenplay
Despite having little in common, Sang-min and Jin-ah fall in love and get married. Before long they come to realise that they actually can't stand each other, but the resulting split is far from amicable. Things come to a head when Jin-ah refuses to return the pendulum from Sang-min's beloved clock, and their petty squabbles degenerate into life-threatening violence.
