A psychological drama that portrays with quiet tension the collapse of the family "kingdom" alongside a mother's dementia-induced confusion of memory. Interweaving themes of memory, lies, faith, and truth, it depicts the anxiety and disintegration lurking within the human psyche. Gyeong-hui, living a peaceful life as a hairdresser, begins to show signs of early-onset dementia. Meanwhile, her son Ji-uk, who works as a writer, sustains himself through his book "The Power of Truth," but fragmented words spoken by his mother force him to confront forgotten memories of the past. Furthermore, the presence of his uncle, Pastor Jeong-myeong, brings to light secrets sleeping within the family and truths concerning faith. Starring Nam Gi-ae, Han Ki-jang, and Yoo Seong-ju. Screened in the competition section of the 2024 Jeonju International Film Festival. Released theatrically as part of the "Hangeul New Wave Film Festival 2026," a special screening of Korean indie genre films.
