| Cho-dal has been living a humdrum life before the peace of his life is broken. One day old television is out of order. And he has a nightmare every night. An angel of death is coming to him closely. As she is getting anxious she decides to go to catholic church even though she hasn't been there in her life and she hangs the cross on the wall but an ominous shadow is getting close to her. |

| Nobody can keep quiet when death is near at hand. Nobody can show oneself peaceful to others. There's no exception to this, even old people with senile dementia and young people in good health. There haven't been an extensive purpose from the first for example, a relationship of God and Man, identity of rationality etc. This story shows how people powerless are against death. I the writer of this story will be satisfied if you are interested of watching this movie. I gave a title "Jacob's Ladder" to this movie as the ladder is linking an earth to heaven in the scenario. |
