Synopsis

Hyun-shik happens to meet Jee-yeon on the subway. The film begins with the story she tells him. Jee-yeon claims that their world is an artificial reality, like the set of The Truman Show. She explains that strange phenomena known as “errors” occasionally occur. When an “error” happens, the people in this world repeat whatever they were doing before gradually coming to a stop. Only a Truman remains unaffected by the “error” and can move freely. Saying that she is searching for another Truman besides herself, Jee-yeon asks Hyun-shik an enigmatic question:

“Are you a Truman?”
