Synopsis
Jin-seok, 21-year-old, moves into a new house with his family. He suffers from a slight schizophrenia but he carries an ordinary life under the warm care of the family. His older brother Yu-seok is a decent college student, a mentor, and role model for Jin-seok. One night, his beloved brother is kidnapped by unidentified assailants before Jin-seok's eye. Jin-seok can’t recognize their faces, but can remember only the VIN that matches with no car. After long silence of 19 days, suddenly Yu-seok returns home, but remembers nothing which had happened in the meantime. And soon Jin-seok feels Yu-seok is a total stranger.

Mood and atmosphere
Immerse yourself in a haunting exploration of memory and identity, where the atmosphere is thick with tension and the echoes of the past linger just out of reach. This film evokes feelings of loneliness and uncertainty, skillfully blending elements of psychological thriller and poignant family drama. The aesthetic is marked by dimly lit rooms and shadowy corners, creating a sense of unease and isolation that resonates deeply. As you navigate through the protagonist's fractured reality, expect a journey that captures the essence of nostalgia and longing, with a backdrop of cozy domesticity contrasted against dark twists. The emotional weight of familial bonds, coupled with the unsettling sense of a stranger in familiar skin, invites reflection on trust, love, and the fragility of memory, making it a compelling choice for a quiet night of introspection or a cozy rainy evening at home.
