M
Love is mysterious and sad.
Directed by Lee Myung-se
Produced by Core Studio, M&FC
A melancholic psychological mystery about a writer haunted by an elusive, possibly imaginary woman, blending romantic longing with existential uncertainty.
A young writer can't write a word for his next novel, he also doesn't feel right with his fiancée; because he falls in love with a woman, but he can't remember who she is and can't figure out if she's real or just a dream.
