Door Lock

The film "Door Lock" revolves around the daily life of Kyung-min, a lone inhabitant of a small one-room apartment. She lives a solitary existence, which allows her to observe and monitor every movement that takes place in her dwelling. However, on this particular day, Kyung-min's world turns upside down. While inspecting her home, Kyung-min discovers minute signs that suggest someone has forced entry into her apartment. These subtle indicators send her into a whirlwind of panic and unease. Initially, she tries to brush off the occurrence as mere paranoia or a product of her vivid imagination, but as the minutes turn into hours, she becomes increasingly unsettled. Kyung-min becomes convinced that her apartment was indeed breached by an unknown individual. The presence of this mysterious intruder sets her on a path of investigation to unravel the mystery. Despite her growing anxiety, Kyung-min attempts to gather as much information as possible. Her one-room apartment transforms into a crime scene where Kyung-min meticulously searches for any shred of evidence, which will reveal the truth about the intruder. As the tension builds within the one-room apartment, Kyung-min's life begins to intersect with that of Tae-oh, a quiet and seemingly unassuming neighbor who shares the building in which Kyung-min resides. Through observations and small encounters with Tae-oh, Kyung-min's perception of him changes. She starts to perceive him as being involved in the mysterious events that unfold in her apartment.
