Sogapalag, a World of Distortion Created by Capitalism

While the ruthless expansion of capitalism causes climate change and destroys ecosystems, human choices that defy the laws of nature create Sogapalag, a world where everything is inverted. In this distorted world, are we able to see and discern everything clearly? The sprawling development surrounding Sogapalag deprives a tortoise of land, and the turtle's desperate declaration leaves us wondering where to go next.

To the sea! I must go to the sea!

[Changzak Gonggam: Directors] Director No.1 Lim Sung-hyun

Director Lim Sung-hyun’s new work unravels the climate crisis caused by capitalism and the collapse of the world through Sogapalag, a place of distortion, and asks some profound questions. In a world where everything is inverted, do we really 'know' and 'see' things clearly? People claim to be aware of everything, but in reality, we may not know or see anything for sure.

SYNOPSIS

Seven people arrive in Sogapalag, a place where things are distorted and inverted. They keep wondering who they are and where they should go, but none of them can figure out where they came from or where they are going.

In the midst of their confusion, a tortoise appears before them. Despite its repeated declaration, "I must go to the sea," the tortoise continues to circle around Sogapalag. Following the sudden appearance of the tortoise, the people begin to unfold the vague stories that they have heard from somewhere. Sogapalag - the place that enchanted Niwrad Selrahc and Ksum Nole, and was sought after by the pirates of Añapse, the navy of Dnalgne, and the miners of Ainrofilac. In the world where everything goes backwards, why does the turtle have to go to the sea? Quo vadis, tortoise!
