Reimagining the traditional Korean myth of Princess Bari through a visceral performance film, BARI strips away the notions of sainthood, filial duty, and divinity. Here, Bari is simply a human being.

Seeking to bring the dead back to life, Bari ventures into the underworld in pursuit of a life-giving flower. Yet her journey is driven not by heroic sacrifice, but by an escalating and uncontrollable obsession. She enters an eerie realm where life and death coexist on a horizontal plane, and as her desire consumes her, she is forced to confront the impossibility of fulfilling it. Trapped in an endless cycle of longing and loss, Bari can do nothing but repeat her journey.
