After a series of box-office flops, arty Korean director Guido desperately needs a hit, but so far he has been unsuccessful in peddling his latest script, "A Killer Story." It's a tragic tale of a voyeur with a penchant for spying on the occupants of a "love hotel," and the only producer who will touch it insists that Guido place his aging, none-too-bright mistress Marie, who yearns to play something more serious than the fluff roles she usually gets, in the lead role. More obstacles come in the form of her co-star Harvey, who tries his best to get Guido to make his opus a gangster tale. In the midst of all this, Guido finds himself falling in love with his neighbor's daughter, a sweet-faced aspiring actress/prostitute.
