Psychokinesis

In a bustling traditional market where the aroma of fried chicken mingles with the clamor of daily commerce, a modest family restaurant has become the heart of the neighborhood. The owner, Shin Roo-mi, has poured her life into the eatery, but the pressures of relentless development and an ever‑tightening grip on the community have left her struggling to keep the doors open. Across the street, her father, Shin Seok‑heon, lives on the margins, working as a security guard and drifting through small, illicit schemes. Their relationship is a fragile thread, frayed by years of absence and unspoken grievance, setting the stage for a reunion that feels both inevitable and uneasy.

A chance encounter with a mysterious mountain spring—rumored to have been struck by a meteor—awakes a dormant power within Seok‑heon, granting him the ability to move objects with his mind. The emergence of this uncanny gift forces him to confront his own complacency and consider what he might do with such a force. As he learns to harness the nascent talent, the prospect of using it to bridge the gap with his daughter becomes a tantalizing, if daunting, possibility.

Roo‑mi, meanwhile, finds herself on the brink of a desperate turning point. The future of her livelihood and the stability of her life hang in the balance, and the stakes feel higher than ever before. Seok‑heon’s newfound abilities suddenly offer a glimmer of hope—a chance to protect the woman he has long neglected and to rewrite the course of their shared history. The urgency of the moment presses him to master his powers quickly, turning personal redemption into a race against time.

The film weaves together the gritty realism of a market community under threat with the subtle, awe‑inspiring wonder of untapped superhuman potential. Its tone balances heartfelt drama and quiet suspense, inviting viewers to wonder whether extraordinary ability can truly mend the ordinary wounds of family, and whether love can be enough to shield those we cherish from losing everything.
