A once-emerging writer, Soo-Yeon is now making a living by working as an assistant scriptwriter for a great box-office hit maker, Moh. Despite repeating cheesy stories full of stereotypical characters, Moh wants to constantly believe his film to have something new and to be based on the reality. That makes Moh as well as Soo-Yeon feel exhausted. Soo-Yeon carefully dreams to emancipate characters from story, but she realizes that her dream is only treated as a 'feminine' vanity in reality.

On his way to a blind date, Mr. No Jae-Won, a young, rich and elitist man, desperately searches for his own answer to her most likely question: "Who is your favourite classical music composer?"

Focusing on the aspect of ‘no records found’ about the hidden underground bunker discovered in 2005, A Room Without Mirrors tells a story about the bunker personified as a fictitious political prisoner who doesn’t remember anything about its past. The Agency, who does not concede the situation in which the bunker has to exist in itself without any purpose or reason, forces it to fabricate its blank history with numerous records perhaps not directly related to it. In years-long interrogation, the bunker decides to make up a story, staying as close to the truth as possible. Employing news archives and sounds in the 1970s, A Room without Mirrors portrays our childhood memories of rupture, trauma, and loss, not to reconstruct an original image of the past but to trace how the past is signified and forgotten.

Observations of deserted landscapes, a busy city, a zoo, a suburb and a cemetery together evoke an image of America.

Through exploring the process of practicing English, the film The Third Tongue represents a fear engendered by a sense of loss of historical identity in post-colonial society.
