Hidden Face
Secrets revealed, fouled desire.
Directed by Kim Dae-woo
Produced by Studio & New
A dark psychological thriller built on betrayal, forbidden desire, and the unraveling of secrets within an intimate circle of musicians.
Su-yeon, a cellist in an orchestra led by her fiancé and conductor Sung-jin, disappears one day, leaving behind only a video recording. Sung-jin is devasted over the loss of Su-yeon, but feels a strong attraction to Mi-ju, a cellist who fills in for his fiancée. Then one rainy night, Sung-jin and Mi-ju get swept away by their mutual desires for each other and commit an unforgivable act at Su-yeon's house.
