Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Abandoned by his girlfriend just as he prepares to screen his latest short film at the Pusan International Film Festival, an ambitious Japanese filmmaker attempts to recruit a famous actor for his first feature just as a strange case of writer's block begins to take hold. Ryu Young-jae is a young filmmaker with big plans. His latest film is screening at Pusan, and he plans on using the opportunity to recruit a respected Japanese actor to star in his upcoming feature debut. Trouble is, Ryu doesn't have a script just yet, and all he knows is that the film will involve Siamese twins and a protagonist who loses his ability to speak. It seems that everyone on Ryu's crew has their own ideas about where the story should go, and when his girlfriend leaves him citing his inability to communicate things quickly begin to fall apart. As hard as he may try, Ryu simply cannot dream up a cohesive plotline for his film. Maverick South Korean filmmaker Yoon Seong-ho takes the helm for this absurd tale of inspiration gone up in flames.
