SYNOPSIS

One day, Sangcheol gets to know that his face has changed into someone else’s. Furthermore, his mother and coworkers don’t recognize this change. By the way, he meets someone who is very familiar to him after allon the streets.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Sometimes familiar things feel strange. Even I myself look strange with the question of "Who am I?" Such unfamiliarity reminds us of the problems of existence, perception and representation. What is the reality of these strange feelings that cannot be grasped with my accustomed conceptual tools? As if it is my back, it does not return to me and, at last, betrays me. My back is more familiar to others than myself.
