Fear is both a chronic disease and a panacea. Home is both a paradise and a hell on earth. The film recounts the voyeuristic career of a timid and weird man. Even beautiful and pure love cannot save him, because his soul has long been engulfed and controlled by darkness. When he was a child, his father used to study the pathology of children to observe and peep at him through intimidation and threats. His every move was exposed to the camera. He resisted and compromised. Fear gradually became a necessity of life. The unstoppable trembling in his heart. Fear, a breath-like existence, was the driving force behind his desire and survival, and the emotion of fear tightly choked him. As a punishment for abnormal growth—that is, he can never stop peeping. When he grew up, instead of his father, he began to peep at strangers on the street, stray girls, or actors who were ignorant of the world and longed to become famous. Women, as the observed, also acted as Victims appear under his lens, he collects fears, records death, mixes it with it but stays out of it. Photography has endowed him with unique power and pleasure. Through the lens, he dominates and controls everything. At the same time, he transfers the fear he feels to others, and then uses the hands of others to complete suicide.
