Ghost-seeking YouTuber, In-gong, and his friend Byung-jin get in contact with an old ‘Nature man’ who insists on seeing ghosts, where he lives alone in a deep forest. The man shows them various spots where he sees ghosts, and he even becomes possessed by a ghost. However, as the old man’s words and actions start to mismatch, they begin to feel unsafe and scared. After witnessing the abnormalities of the man almost every night, they decide to escape. However, a visit from a strange woman dressed in a ghost costume, it seems almost impossible to escape.

At some point, television programs that introduced the so-called ‘nature man,’ living alone in the mountains, have become popular. Apparently, the investment-to-return ratio turns out to be good, with lower production costs, due to the producer and writer taking up the filming themselves, and comparatively high viewer ratings. This high viewership may be credited to those who have grown tired with city life. Despite its basis on reality, as a part of the cultural programming section, the television’s need for spectacle has led to reenacted scenes of ‘nature man’ digging up pre-planted wild plants or jumping into ice ponds in the middle of winter. This phenomenon inspired me to create a story of a man, who starts to act for viewer ratings. I also challenged myself to create this film, armed with the same experimental spirit of the producer, YouTuber, or a solitary filmmaker.
