A Korean spy becomes the target of the Turkish mafia. However, complicating this situation is the fact that Korean gangsters, working with the Turkish mafia, are also pursuing the spy. Simultaneously, the spy grapples with an internal conflict rooted in his past. The painful history that he cannot forget not only weakens him but also transforms him into a formidable force. The story goes beyond a mere tale of survival, delving into the main character’s confrontation with his dark past.
Director Biography:
Growing up around my father’s movie theater ignited my passion for filmmaking. After graduating high school in 2017, I pursued my undergraduate education in Seoul, South Korea, graduating in 2024 from Kyung Hee University’s Digital Contents department. My graduation project, “DMW,” an action short film shot across two countries and incorporating multiple languages, earned me the university’s project of the year award. This project encapsulates my dedication to filmmaking and innovative storytelling.
