A couple grappling with the unsolved disappearance of their daughter are further unsettled when they begin receiving mysterious DVDs containing footage of their daily lives. The moments captured are unnerving not only for the violation of their privacy, but for what is exposed about their relationship on a most intimate level. Suspecting that the voyeur is responsible for taking their daughter, the couple embark on a desperate mission to seek him out—only to find that the truth of his identity is more complicated than it seems. Featuring legendary Taiwanese actor Lee Kang-sheng, this gripping surveillance thriller nods to classics like Alfred Hitchcock’s REAR WINDOW and Michael Haneke’s CACHÉ while updating the genre for a tantalizing exploration of voyeurism in the digital age and our contradictory desires for privacy and being seen.
