Abstract:

In this blackly satirical comedy by the director of The Host, part-time lecturer Yoon-ju is becoming hyper-sensitive to a dog's barking coming from somewhere in his apartment.  Attempting to pinpoint the source, he puts his ear to the floor or listens carefully to the sounds from the ceiling.  Then one day he discovers a puppy standing in front of his neighbor's door.  Convinced that it is the culprit, he dognaps the puppy and imprisons it in the basement.  Meanwhile, the apartment custodian Hyun-nam searches for the puppy with its young owner.  Satisfied of being rid of the dog, Yoon-ju returns to his apartment only to hear barking again.  He rushes to the basement, but the puppy is nowhere to be found...  

With Lee Sung-Jae and Bae Doo-Na
