In 2050, the Republic of Korea has become the country with the largest number of illegal immigrants. Detective Genie is chasing after the ‘Yellow Flock’, a criminal organization run by unregistered children. But the more she pursues these children who have become ghosts even though they are alive, the more she comes face to face with her own childhood. This visually excellent crime drama shows a new side of Lee Na-young, who plays two different characters.
Cho Heesoo studied visual arts at the Korea National University of Arts and the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (ABK Stuttgart). Starting with the Busan International Short Film Festival opening film The Divers (2021), she has directed Ironman Triathlon (2023) and That Anxiety Has a Mise-en-scène (2025), and has been invited to various film festivals including the Seoul Independent Film Festival and the Seoul Intl. Cinema & Media Art Festival (NeMaf).
