Up-and-coming director Jo Eui Seok, who made a strong impression five years ago with debut feature Make It Big, breaks his silence with his sophomore film, the crime thriller World of Silence. Beautifully shot and tightly told, the suspenseful story pulls the viewer into a dangerous mind game between the police and a serial murderer. Lead Kim Sang Kyung is no stranger to crime drama, having portrayed a detective in the acclaimed Memories of Murder, but this time his mysterious character falls on the other side of the case. Park Yong Woo, fresh off the success of My Scary Girl, stars as a police officer who must race against the clock to save a young girl's life. The tense chemistry between the two men drives the film as the plot builds up to its gripping conclusion.

When three young girls from the same orphanage turn up dead, weathered detective Kim (Park Yong Woo) realizes he has a serial murder case in his hands. One of the suspects on his list is Ryu Jung Ho (Kim Sang Kyung), a troubled photographer who has the mysterious ability to read minds. Having just returned to Korea from the US, Jung Ho becomes the guardian to a young girl, Su Yeon (Han Bo Hae), whose mother is in a coma. Is Jung Ho protecting the girl, or is she the next potential victim? As Kim digs deeper into the case, the situation reaches a crisis point when Su Yeon goes missing.
