Dir. Yoon Jae-keun

Producers Billy Acumen, Lee So-young, Kim Hyun-suk

Imagine you suddenly find yourself inhabiting someone else’s body. A whole other dimension of identity loss is thrust upon an amnesiac who discovers he has the crackerjack skills of a highly trained intelligence operative. A complex plot of monumental drug deals and crisscross espionage unravels as the protagonist plays a high-concept version of hopscotch, literally becoming each of the various people involved, as his spirit changes bodies every 12 hours. This twisty thriller is an action-packed joyride of genre exuberance. Told with incredible visual panache and dazzling stunt work, it is a delirious spectacle that riffs on surveillance culture, corruption, betrayal, and the very nature of existence, while mirroring the undying tenacity of its multifaceted hero.
