Brief Synopsis:

In 1969, a brothel with 500 residential units was established for the U.S. Air Force Base in Kunsan, South Korea, known as ‘American Town.’ The Korean government recruited “comfort women” from across the country to work in this small, self-sufficient town, visited nightly by 1,000 U.S. soldiers and offering currency exchange, culinary pleasures and sex. Shot on the actual site, COMFORTLESS is a cinematic VR film depicting American Town in the 1980s. The film begins in the present, showing an empty, silent town that comes alive at night with the sounds of the past. Viewers, guided by a ghost, explore the deserted town and experience the daily routine of its inhabitants, creating an indispensable archive of the past.
