Hope
Is this how it ends?
Directed by Na Hong-jin
Produced by Forged Films, Plus M Entertainment
A tense, existentially weighted sci-fi mystery where misperception and human conflict collide with an alien threat, building toward cosmic tragedy in an isolated village.
In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
