Jeong-ho Choi

Tae-suk arpente les rues à moto. Il laisse des prospectus sur les poignées de porte des maisons. Quand il revient quelques jours après, il sait ainsi lesquelles sont désertées. Il y pénètre alors, occupe ces lieux inhabités, sans jamais rien y voler. Il va même jusqu'à laver le linge, réparer les objets cassés qui l'entourent. Un jour, il s'installe dans une maison aisée où habite Sun-houa, une femme maltraitée par son mari. Dès qu'il découvre sa présence, il quitte les lieux. Pourtant, ne pouvant l'oublier, il revient sur ses pas pour l'emmener avec lui. Dès lors, d'appartements en villas, de demeures en maisons, le couple partage en silence la solitude qui les unit. Alors que tout le monde cherche à les séparer, un étrange lien aussi puissant qu'invisible semble les confondre.

Now it's up to Curucuru and his pals to get it back from the pirates, before things can go worse. But amid-st the actual troubles they face, the kids also encounter a strange Tiger child, who is connected to the incident.

The Korean Academy of Film Arts has produced an animation for 3 consecutive years through a collaborative project. Considering the severe reality of Korean animation in that it lacks an industrial infrastructure, "The House" demonstrates the possibilities of Korean animation and the efficiency of collective production. While comparing apartments in the downtown core to the shabby environment of a marginalized district, "The House" portrays the collapse of the spirits dwelling at the house. As such the adventure of Ga-young and the spirits in the house becomes a criticism of modern society: enlightenment via animation. Although this animation may not have the most delicate or original style, the 5 animators that worked on this film unleashed their imaginations, ultimately showcasing the power of a collective process and a pleasure of the collective imagination.
