The Bogil island is the witness of 3 love stories: In "Kim Chu-ja", Chun-ha sees his old boyfriend on TV and decides to call him and go with him and his daughter to the Bogil island in a try to take up their relationship again. In "Drifting Island" a taxi driver and a mechanic live their difficult love story only when are in the island. Finally, in "La Traviata", a woman goes to the island, looking for her ex-husband's boyfriend, who now runs a cottage with his current boyfriend.
Apart from being gay love stories, this movie has nothing special. For me, the worst story by far is the second one, which is a bit incomprehensible, though maybe the problems are the subtitles (they are quite bad). The third story is interesting but we have to suppose some parts of the story to have everything clear. The first one, is the best of the three stories with some funny and interesting moments, like when Chun-ha explains how the relation with Wang-geun started, first speaking directly to the camera and later with some anime scenes or the musical scene.

No hard-rock porn. No porn in general. No even hot, steamy scenes. NO NUDITY!!!
Already prepared for further reading might imagine a wonder at Korean-produced English-navigation/title short movie which run somehow followed with English subtitles.
United geographically, and, probably, reflecting the budget possibilities movie-makers were restricted with, three sexually-synonymous stories tell of life twists different people exercise because of being in this place, on this particular island.
"Camellia" is of two old buddies having reunited as life went by, - a local and his recently-in-Seoul-living family-man partner. "Drifting Island" is of a family man found this solace in unexpected holiday affairs with a male local driver. "La Traviatta" is of a widow visiting a ceased husband's male lover.
Nothing extraordinary either in performing or audio-visual effects but rough life and reality depicted-well, a single location could really trigger some disbelief of such dramas narrowed with small island or in marvelous potential of that locality-keep a viewer watching to a very end with stable interest.
