Adapted from the Peter May novel, “The Killing Room,” the script was in the works for eleven years, according to Alexis Dantec, the film’s producer. Originally slated for launch in 2020, filming was delayed due to the pandemic.

The story follows a forensic scientist who invented a technique for restoration of damaged corpses. She visits Korea for a conference and upon the request of a Korean police detective , assists in an investigation. That leads to the discovery of an organ-trafficking syndicate. “Korean entertainment is very trendy in France now and its influence globally made shooting in Korea a clear choice,” Dercourt said. “The experience was nothing but good and thanks to the crew, we shot everything in 20 days.”

Dercourt spoke highly of the actors and said, “[Yoo] Yeon Seok is rather shy. And we had no idea how popular a star he is. He was keen to learn the European way of directing and I wanted to understand the Korean way of acting.”
