Un professore di psicologia ormai in pensione si ritira con sua moglie in una casa in campagna piuttosto isolata. Non tanto le quotidiane, irritanti e indesiderate visite dell'unico vicino, che riesce a trasformare in assillante tortura la pacifica vita quotidiana della coppia. Una quotidianità che si popola di incubi con l'apparizione dell'ancora più grassa consorte dell'uomo.

　　来自法国的旅行者伊丽丝在韩国担任法语家庭教师赚取生活费。语言的隔阂让她和学生之问的交流充满错位感，东亚文化中不善于思考和表达内心情感的“痼疾"又与渴望交流与开放的心态交织在一起，触发了只有异国旅行者才能感受到的特殊孤独与惆怅。被誉为韩国作者电影第一人的导演洪常秀继《在异 国》《克莱尔的相机》之后与法国国宝级女演员伊莎贝尔·于佩尔再度合作，用极简主义的拍摄手法呈现细致入微的人际关系精妙互动，斩获2024年第74届柏林国际电影节评审团银熊奖。

　　Nothing is more frightening, as the narrator points out, than a ‘time-rich nosy person’. Exhibit A is Ahn Geo-ul (Gyeong Su-jin), who commits herself to social justice causes with terrifying tenacity. After temporarily renting a unit in the Baek-sae Apartment building, she discovers that a loud, hard to locate banging noise occurs from 4am every night, making the residents’ lives an insomniac hell – and so she determines to engage in her own disruption and to find the culprit of this acoustic assault, simultaneously eliminating her eccentric neighbours as suspects, and recruiting them to her cause.
　　Focusing on a woman who is an unstoppable force for good, it is also a plea for community cohesion and solidarity.
