Description:

A renowned movie director encounters an unexpected proposition from an unlikely source: his former high school mathematics teacher. This eccentric academic presents a captivating concept for a film - what if Earth itself was considered as a form of hell, overseen by none other than the Devil? Initially dismissing this idea as too far-fetched, the director's perspective gradually shifts as he observes the life of an aspiring writer, who is also his close friend. This writer's experiences seem to align with the teacher's hypothesis in uncanny ways. Furthermore, the story delves into the intertwined lives of this writer and a young prostitute whom the director holds a deep affection for. The events that transpire in their lives appear to reinforce the unsettling possibility put forth by the math teacher, challenging the director's understanding of reality itself. As the narrative unfolds, the audience is drawn into an exploration of themes such as faith, morality, and the human condition against a backdrop of existential questions that leave both characters and viewers questioning their perception of the world around them.
