Gangbyeon Hotel (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8725958/


The snow is falling.
There's an organization called Ika, and people are subjugated by them for no reason.
Some people are not under their control.
But those who are, are controlled for no reason.
Ika doesn't allow its people to move.
The right to move is held exclusively by them.
If you become a member of Ika, you cannot move as you wish.
On the day it snowed, two women brought a small boy.
He is a small child, and he has a projecting tooth.
But he is beautiful nonetheless.
Gradually people realize that he is a precious child.
The two mothers want to take this child away.
But however much time passes, they can't leave.
They want to go, but people are too fascinated by the boy.
Ika wants to keep the boy there.
This boy who makes other people happy remains here.
Since the mothers can't take him, he grows up there in darkness.
He grows taller, and now is all grown up.
His face is dark and his eyes bulge.
I'm not sure if he resembles the child he once was.
He's changed so much, it's sad.
Ika is cruel.
Having changed so, the boy pumps gas.
Like a man digging for coal, he pumps gas.
In such a bleak and lonely place, all alone, he holds the gas hose.
The snow is falling.
