The film explores a pivotal moment in history when King Jungjo sought to channel his personal grief over his father's death into a national endeavor. This ultimately reveals how history’s patterns recur. While presenting the Uigwe – a historical artifact now a World Heritage site – as a unique object of both past and future, the film aims to recreate the intangible experiences associated with it, specifically the rituals and gatherings surrounding its use. The device itself hints at an early desire to capture and replicate the world, perhaps even to make the invisible visible. With modern digital technology, the film asks: What possibilities does 21st-century technology hold for bringing the Uigwe's world back to life?
