During his captivity, he is given no explanation for his confinement and has no contact with the outside world. His only connection to the world is a television set, which he uses to follow the events unfolding in the outside world.
One day, just as inexplicably as he was imprisoned, Dae-su is released. With no knowledge of who imprisoned him or why, he embarks on a mission to uncover the truth behind his captivity and seek revenge on those responsible. Along the way, he encounters various characters, including a young woman named Mi-do who offers him assistance and companionship. The film takes dark and unexpected turns as Dae-su's search for the truth leads to a shocking revelation that redefines his understanding of reality and morality.
