SYNOPSIS
Ga-young arrives in a crumbling neighborhood marked for demolition, searching for somewhere to belong. She discovers the Zipsin, a spirit bound to her new home, struggling with obsolescence as the world around it crumbles into concrete and progress. Together they navigate an impossible situation: the Zipsin faces extinction through redevelopment, while Ga-young grapples with fragmented memories tied to these aging walls. As they search for a successor among the dwindling spirits, Ga-young becomes caught between two worlds. The Zipsin grows desperate, locking residents inside to preserve what remains, escalating tensions with the very people it once protected. What begins as a quiet supernatural encounter transforms into something more personal when Ga-young's forgotten past resurfaces, revealing why this house matters to her in ways she never understood. The film captures something bittersweet about loss and nostalgia, where the supernatural becomes a mirror for human attachment to places we call home. Watching a spirit and girl navigate their shared mortality against the machinery of urban change creates space for real questions about what deserves to be saved.
