Come Down to a Lower Place

Seul, a project manager at a construction site under a luxury department store in Seoul, becomes fixated on a strange, rotting smell rising from deep underground. As she digs through old colonial-era records, she uncovers unsettling clues tied to a mysterious word, “Bin-o-jae.” Her search draws her deeper below the city, where buried secrets, corporate greed, and eerie traces of the past begin to blur with her own sense of self.

Blending horror with sharp social commentary, Come Down to a Lower Place explores what lies beneath the surface—both in the city and within ourselves—through a chilling, unsettling descent into the hidden spaces we choose to ignore.
