Kim Seung-geun (Jung Jae-young) is deep in debt and his life seems completely hopeless. He jumps off a bridge into the Han River and washes up on the shore of Bamseom,
which lies directly below the bridge. After searching the island he
finds it is filled mostly with vegetation and surrounded by the city but
too far to shout and he can't swim. He finds a duck-shaped boat and
begins to like living on the island, free of his debt and worries of
city life, though it is not easy.
As he learns to survive on the island, his cries for help scrawled in the sand are seen by Kim Jung-yeon (Jung Ryeo-won), an agoraphobe
who spots him while engaging in her nightly habit of photographing the
moon. They soon begin exchanging messages, with Jung-yeon venturing out
of her house to throw bottled messages onto the island, and Seung-geun
writing his replies in the sand.
The climax of the movie arrives with a torrential storm which
destroys Seung-geun's farm and sweeps away the possessions he has
collected, after which he is found by a group of workers sent to clean
up litter on the island. He boards a bus in the city where Jung-yeon,
after overcoming her anxiety and running across the bridge to find him,
manages to finally meet him.
