Synopsis
A couple goes on a date to watch an occult film. Soon after, the guy learns from his ailing uncle that he underwent an exorcism as a child and made a mysterious pact to ward off an evil spirit. He shares this strange, long-forgotten past with his girlfriend, but her reaction is not quite what he expected.
Program Note
Set against a backdrop of trees, incomprehensible voices drift through the air, followed unexpectedly by the construction site of an apartment complex. Suddenly, a scene unfolds in a midnight playground where a man and woman laugh and talk. This clever opening immediately captivates the audience and maintains tension until the very end. A painful uncle's secret story from the past discreetly erupts during conversation in a dimly lit park at night. The fear lies more in what is anticipated to happen than in what has already occurred. Amidst the chilling lines delivered with innocent expressions, the continuous use of eerie sounds and music enhances the unsettling atmosphere. (Lee Yongcheol)
