A Buddhist monk is raising an orphan. He hopes to make him his disciple. When the boy comes of age, under the guise of making this the last stage in his training as a novice, the master puts the youth to the test: he confronts him with a very beautiful woman. With this film Transgression, the auteur of the 1960 masterpiece The Housemaid continues his provocative search for a form of expression that still exerts its influence on South Korean cinema today.
