_I don't encourage murder. I have no interest in one person killing another. I
only want to draw out morbid desires, imprisoned deep in the unconscious. This
lust, once freed, starts growing. Their imaginations run free, and they soon
discover their potential... They are waiting for someone like me._
A spectral, nameless narrator haunts the lost and wounded of big-city Seoul,
suggesting solace in suicide. Wandering through the bright lights of their
high-urban existence, C and K are brothers who fall in love with the same
woman - Se-yeon. As their lives intersect, they tear at each other in a
struggle to find connection in their fast-paced, atomized world.
Dreamlike and cinematic, _I Have the Right to Destroy Myself_ brilliantly
affirms Young-ha Kim as Korea's leading young literary master.
