Cruel Art World Story: Forgery

About this movie

The story unfolds through the perspective of a young painter in his twenties named Kang. Torn between love and art, he finds himself standing on the fragile line between success and survival, facing the temptations of ghost painting and the shadow of forgery. At the same time, the film interweaves a story from thirty years earlier: a talented painter who, under the crushing weight of poverty, was forced to abandon his pride and create paintings under someone else’s name. Through this parallel narrative, the film contrasts the conscience of the artist with the harsh realities of life.
