On Homecoming Day, Myungjoon discovers an old cassette tape with recordings of his past diary entries. Hoping to correct his mistakes, he revisits pivotal moments in his life, but his actions trigger uncontrollable consequences. Trapped in an endless time loop, reality distorts as he desperately tries to rewrite the past. His obsession drives him to horrifying extremes—murdering loved ones and risking his own life. As he battles forces beyond his control, he questions the blurred boundary between dreams and reality, echoing Zhuangzi’s The Butterfly Dream, and confronting the inescapable nature of karma.

Director's Statement

Time is relentless, leaving us with memories and regrets. The Other Timeline explores the desperate human desire to rewrite the past. Inspired by Zhuangzi’s The Butterfly Dream, the film blurs the line between reality and illusion, questioning fate and free will. Through psychological horror and nonlinear storytelling, I aimed to create a disorienting, dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting the protagonist’s fractured psyche. As Myungjoon struggles to alter his past, he spirals into terror and destruction. This film serves as a meditation on consequence—perhaps the true horror is not failing to change the past, but the cost of doing so.
