It’s a black comedy triggered by a scandal.

Due to some misunderstandings, a man and a woman enter into an inappropriate relationship. It starts as a private matter, but becomes a public spectacle through the internet. One person’s pain becomes everyone’s entertainment. A joke becomes more and more serious.

The man tries to explain himself, but no one listens. Everyone is throwing stones at him, trying to destroy him—not for what happened, but for the sake of the spectacle. And the destruction becomes a celebration—that’s the biggest joke of all.

In the end, the man experiences “social death”—his body lives, but his spirit has died. No one hears what he wanted to say, but his silence is deafening. That deafening silence is heard by the sun, moon, and stars.
