Cold Heart
In a quest to escape his life of poverty, Peter Munk, a struggling charcoal burner, calls upon an ancient spirit who grants him three wishes. However, the fleeting joy of wealth quickly turns to despair as he faces impending ruin. Desperate to reclaim his riches, Peter strikes a perilous deal with a sinister force that demands his heart in exchange for prosperity. While he gains wealth and success, he becomes emotionally numb, devoid of love and compassion. Will Peter find a way to break free from this curse and avoid eternal damnation? (Summary by Antipode)
