- Synopsis
- A family is gathered at the father’s deathbed. Although they seem to be living normally, they are broken within. Through the daughter’s past, the father’s past, and the father’s father’s past, the film shows the starting point of the present situation and the decisions that came to neglect them.
- Director's Note
- There are things that you are able to understand but want to refuse, and things that you can understand but want to break away from, yet it is difficult to do so because we resemble them. Such terrifying desires of thoughtlessness continue to spread. I wanted to express the despondent era as the ‘terror’ of desire through people who are considered to be the mainstream.
