The residents of a village fall victim to a con artist posing as a prophet. Min-chul, a small-time crook, realizes it’s a scam, but no one believes him.

Before the success of Train to Busan, Yeon Sang-ho had already made a name for himself in animation. His second feature film, The Fake, explores the power of religion in the face of followers who are as desperate as they are gullible. The film’s greatest achievement is turning an unsympathetic scoundrel into a tragic and deeply moving hero. A gritty, hard-hitting animated thriller.
