Synopsis

One day, a group of photo journalists invite themselves to Mr. Kreutzer's home. Enraged by this sudden disturbance, he storms out of the house to out the cameramen away from his territory. In the midst of havoc, Kreutzer suddenly disappears when cameras flash at him. The next day, newspapers carry his photos taken just before his disappearance, exclaiming how he mysteriously vanished. Mr. Kreutzer is actually trapped inside one of the newspaper photos. As we travel with Mr. Kreutzer, we feel immersed in the world of mass media. The unwavering black-and-white images exhibit the witty, daring spirit of the director who wrote the screenplay at the age of 19 and completed the movie three years later.(Na Ho-Won)
