"Illusion of Paradise" will be unveiled as an Asian premiere. The world premiere will take place on the 13th through the Special Presentation section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival.

The film is an adaptation based on the novel "Black Inferno." It begins when a missing son returns after nine years in a completely different form.
