Ticket
Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do.She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young),Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young),and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency.Miss Yang and Miss Hong,who are well experienced in this type of business,are used to accepting propositions from customers.But Se-young,who is dating a college student named Min-su,rejects all requests for sexual favors.When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances,Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him.When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young,Ji-suk reprimands her severely.Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her.She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat,but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job,he sees how Se-young has been making her living.Shocked,he turns his back on the job and leaves.When he eventually returns to Sokcho,he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship.Decades ago,Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband,who was serving time in prison she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation.Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate,Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her.She begs him not to abandon Se-young,but he flatly refuses.Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea,and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
