Synopsis

A desperate man resorts to smuggling his wife inside of a piece of luggage in hopes of finding a better life His hopes are put on hold when his plane arrives. But the bag containing his wife does not.

Program Note

A man tries an illegal entry to a country with the woman he loves in the suitcase. But the luggage does not arrive for some reason. Feeling guilty and anxiousness, he begins to experience a strange thing. It is impressive how a horror movie was created out of the psychology of a refugee, who is terrified for not knowing when he would be deported. As Korea is no longer free from refugee problem, the audience can empathize better with the theme of this film as much as they feel the thrills of horror movie. (HWANG Hye-min)
