Description

Budding composer Yeonji’s (Leem Chae-young) biggest dream comes true when she lands an entry-level position at the prestigious Forte Studio working on the score for a renowned director’s new film. Soon enough, what was once a dream begins to spiral into a nightmare as the young musician realises her boss — and main reference in the field — is not only overly demanding but also more than happy to take credit for her work. Kimbo Kim’s confidently paced debut cleverly plays with workplace tensions and issues of sexism and ageism to take Forte to a gory, thrilling apex set deep in the Korean woods.
