In the near future, hypochondriac siblings Eden and Hyunho have taken to the mountains to avoid all electromagnetic frequencies, which they believe to be harmful to their health. But when the young woman runs afoul of two engineers and a hunter hired to install a next-gen telecom relay in the forest at night, the film transforms from a slightly paranoid drama to a nail-biting horror thriller. Yeon Ye-ji and Park Sye-young’s feature-length adaptation of their eponymous short film is a hypnotic lesson in claustrophobic staging and the evocative power of light itself.
