《呼吸》讲述了Jung-ju的儿子因心脏病去世，自此陷入无尽的痛苦中，靠工作、喝酒、去教堂麻木自己。一天，刚出狱的年轻人Min-gu到她的清洁公司工作。 Min-gu看起来衣衫褴褛，脸上带着疤痕。 Jung-ju认出这个年轻人就是12年前被她和丈夫绑架索的受害者，当时他们为了给儿子筹集手术费才出此下策。这位年轻人扰乱了Jung-ju的生活，而她也无可避免地对Min-gu产生了好奇，就像她对Min-gu抱有愧疚感一样。
After losing her son, Jungjoo loses all hope in life, drinking and smoking her life away. She tries to overcome the pain by attending church and praying diligently to no avail. Then one day, she meets Mingoo, a convicted criminal, wearing dirty clothes that have not seen a washer in who knows how long. He carries all his belongings in a plastic bag. Seeing him reminds Jungjoo of an event 12 years earlier. Clean up is a film about a woman coming face to face with a past she wants to forget. She kidnaps a child out of desperation and meets that child again 12 years later. The problem is that the child is now poor, lonely and scorned. She can't ignore him, and not remembering who she is the boy feels safe with her. Clean up is a film about salvation and forgiveness. Will the two be able to overcome their feelings of guilt, resentment, and anger? Rather than giving a hasty conclusion, the film advances slowly towards a faint glimmer of hope. (Nam Dong-chul)
