SYNOPSIS

Hong-seok is chased by loan sharks due to his failure from prostitution business. Day by day, he sleeps in the open in bitter weather. By chance, he finds a coin in a vending machine. Hong-seok uses the coin to buy a cup of warm coffee. When he leaves the spot, he feels something strange.

DIRECTING INTENTION

On the other side of our flourishing capitalistic society, coexists a world where everything is commercialized and the exploitation of people are justified. Caught in the trap set by an unidentified subject, people are exploited, and the output from such exploitation is consequently commercialized, and what has been commercialized is quickly consumed by another. The endless continuation like a Möbius strip. The film explores the life and desire of people in this modern age, which does not differ too much from that of slaves in the colonial age, through fragmented thoughts on a person and a vending machine.
