Overview

Musician Pi has lost the story he once wanted to convey through his songs. With the core of his creativity gone, he drifts without direction. Heo-su, who loves mathematics, devotes himself to his research while extolling its beauty. He dreams of Paris, a city where mathematics coexists with history and the arts. Recognizing the extraordinary potential of both individuals, Lee harbors an ambitious vision: to build a multidisciplinary cultural and arts collective around them and orchestrate something on a grand scale.
