Animated director Yan Shanghao, who participated in the 2011 Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, presents his critically acclaimed work, following his previous film which humorously took jabs at "pigs" and used extreme intelligence to reflect the harsh realities of life. This latest piece is the only Asian animation nominated at the Toronto International Film Festival, satirizing the hypocrisy of the church. Is a person always clearly good or evil? Are church leaders necessarily good people? In a small town in South Korea, there is a prophecy predicting an impending flood. A respected church elder vows to bring faith and hope to the congregation. As long as they are willing to donate money, he promises to help them rebuild their homes. However, his funding plan is questioned by a notoriously bad-mouthed townsman. The two engage in a battle of "image," each with their own motives.
