Synopsis:

Self-help author Ji-wook still lives with his hairdresser mother Kyung-hee, who is slowly succumbing to dementia. As secrets from a forgotten – or repressed – past surface, we journey deeper into a dark and Freudian tale of belief, memory, oblivion and fictions that are embraced as a way of maintaining the illusion of happiness.
