고래사냥(1984) / Whale Hunting (Goraesanyang)

Rejected by the college student he has been quietly pining for, a shy young man leaves home with no plan and falls in with a homeless drifter and a mute woman fleeing a red-light district. The three cross the country dodging gangsters and going broke together, and somewhere in the mess of it she gets her voice back.
