After an affair with a married man, celebrated actress Younghee decides to take some time out by traveling to Hamburg. During her walks through wintry parks and along riverbanks she wonders if his lover misses her as much as she does, and she attempts to become clear about her feelings and desires.

With a beautiful title akin to a painting, On the Beach at Night Alone might just be Hong at his most romantic and melancholy—and most autobiographical too! Fresh from The Handmaiden, Kim Min-hee delivers a memorable, raw performance that won her the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlinale.
