A Flower in Hell (지옥화 - Jiokhwa) is a 1958 South Korean film directed by Shin Sang-ok. For her performance in this film, Shin's wife, Choi Eun-hee was given the Best Actress award at the 2nd Buil Film Awards.[2] During the Korean War, director Shin Sang-ok had shared an apartment with a prostitute in order to live more comfortably rather than sharing a one-room evacuation apartment with several families, giving him insight in the subject of the film.

Plot

A young man comes to Seoul from the country in search of his older brother, who turns out to be making a living with a group of thieves who boost goods from a U.S. Army base and sell them on the black market. Both brothers become romantically involved with the same prostitute.[3]
