And while the crew was leisurely doing the work at hand, the captain smoked in the dark, looked serious, and the soundtrack was a bit bleak. Next, the captain directly found a friend who specialized in illegal transactions, hoping to make some money by smuggling to help the "Advance" get through the difficulties. The story officially begins.
When the ship was out to sea, there was a symbolic scene where Dong-sik's grandmother waved goodbye to the "Advance" at the door of her house. Foreshadows the tragic fate of the "Forward" and its crew.
The climax of the story begins when all the stowaways die as a result of inhaling gas leaking from the ship's hull. (Hongmei, who was hidden in the hull by Dong-sik, survived.) Facing a ship of dead bodies, the crew began their "sinful journey." In the pervasive sea fog, in order not to cause the dead to float on the sea and be implicated, they burned the remains of the dead, chopped the dead into pieces, and threw them into the sea. In such an environment, everyone began to seek self-protection and pursue their own interests.
The conflict also began to appear at this time: the chief engineer was sorry for what he had done, he was saddened by the death of the stowaways, he wanted redemption, and even wanted to surrender, so the captain killed him. Chang-wook discovers Hongmei, who has privately made a lifelong relationship with Dong-shik, and Jing-jiu is also jealous of Hongmei, and the struggle between the three men begins. Squad Leader A tried to prevent the three men from killing each other for the benefit of everyone, but was mistakenly killed. The captain wanted to kill Hongmei in order to keep the "Advance" ship and prevent the crew from fighting. A boat of people have turned into opposing relationships. The "evil" of human nature begins here.
In the dense fog, everyone attacked others for their own benefit. At this time, they faced another difficulty. The hull of the ship was flooded and the ship was about to sink. They should have saved the ship, but they kept attacking. He Changxu was drowned, and the captain watched as the ship that could no longer be recovered was falling down step by step, the spiritual world collapsed, and finally sank into the sea together with the ship.
Hongmei and Dongzhi survived and were hit by the waves on the shore. "We want to go home." "We, it doesn't matter," Dongzhi said to Hongmei. "Thank you," Hongmei said to Dongzhi. Then Hongmei left, an encounter on a boat, maybe it can no longer be called feelings after getting off the boat. Hongmei is going to find his elder brother, and Dongzhi has to live with his grandma. The two cannot and cannot be together. Hongmei sees it more clearly than Dongzhi. Six years later, Dongzhi and Hongmei met, Dongzhi just watched Hongmei's back silently, his relationship with Hongmei was destined to have no end.
There are two main lines in the film. One is that the captain takes stowaways on an adventure to save the ship, and the crew eventually coexists with the ship.
