When George and his wife began to receive long-lens videotapes and cartoons of children spitting blood in front of their house, the stable family began to feel strangely uneasy. Anxiety and suspicion lurking in the heart of the surrounding living environment. One of the most anxiety and panic among people is the fear of revealing the inner "truth", and everyone hides their inner "truth" and "secret". When the secret or truth of the self is invaded and intervened (disclosed) by any external threatening elements, the life that individuals and groups have worked hard to construct and "package" will be dissected, excavated, and brought out the true primitive and even ugly side of human nature. . In order to eliminate these people, events or things that they consider to be a threat to themselves, people may counter the "aggressors" with crimes that they believe are legitimate and necessary actions but are actually disguised, so that the evils of human nature will never end. Continue to camouflage and spread.

The hidden camera in the film may be just a symbolic means and an introduction borrowed by the director, thereby conveying the various examinations and attempts to excavate the human nature that the film intends to point to, and to face the root of the unrest in existence, which may be sinful, violent, Unreasonable, ridiculous, persecuting. The image is unusually calm and even cold, but facing such a subject really makes the viewer unable to calm down, because the camera that hides (CACHE) is the dark corner of our heart!
