Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Third part of Gina Kim’s VR trilogy on US military comfort women in South Korea. In 1969, a 500-unit brothel, recruiting women from across the country, was established for the US military in Kunsan. Viewers traverse this uncanny deserted town, guided by the ghosts, sounds, and voices from its past.
