"Despite the hordes of people packing the theatre that day, I can't remember a single face."

An extended meditation on the world of Korean cinema, the blockbuster versus the independent artist, its trends and its characters and role in society, as seen through the eyes of a film enthusiast narrator and their interactions with those around them, each on their own journey.
