In 1969, a brothel with 500 residential units was established for the U.S. Air Force Base in Kunsan, South Korea, known as 'American Town.' This brothel was incorporated and recruited women from across the country, officially labeled as US military comfort women by authorities. Shot on the actual site, COMFORTLESS is a cinematic VR film depicting American Town during its heyday in the 1980s. VR viewers traverse this uncanny, deserted town, guided by the ghosts, sounds, and voices from its past.
