Synopsis

During the pandemic quarantine, a misophonia sufferer is stuck in his small apartment with his noisy wife. As he struggles to maintain his sanity and make it through, the power of music becomes his saving grace. Through a strange synchronization, he discovers a path to redemption. This is a musical comedy without dialogue

Program Note

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a man grows increasingly distressed living with his wife, his sensitivity to sound pushing him to the edge. To cope, he wears a headset—and discovers a whole new world. The Quarantine Redemption deftly shows how music can transform the everyday. The grating sounds that tormented him—chopping vegetables, wringing a cloth, scrubbing the floor—become a rhythmic performance. Household items turn into instruments, with precise camerawork and editing showcasing the film's clever concept. By the playful finale, you might find yourself moving to the beat during your own chores. (Lee Yoochae)
