Synopsis

Land surveyor K arrives in a remote village shrouded in mystery, where a towering castle looms over the quiet streets. But when he seeks entry, the local authorities stonewall him, their refusal cloaked in an impenetrable web of rules and red tape.

Determined to fulfill his mission, K confronts a relentless labyrinth of bureaucratic hurdles, each more confounding than the last. As the village’s enigmatic power structure tightens its grip, K finds himself trapped in a surreal battle against an invisible force—challenging the very nature of authority and truth.
