Abstract:

The story of two billboard painters who eke out a meager living in Seoul in the late 1980s. Chil-su, struggling to hold down a job, befriends Man-su, a capable and intelligent worker who is held back in life because his father is an "unreformed" Communist sympathizer. The two team up in search of temporary work. One day, while painting a beer ad, the friends begin shouting their frustrations to the city below. The police misinterpret their actions, which leads to an unexpected and surreal confrontation. With Ahn Seong-Gi, Park Jung-Hun, Bae Jong-Ok
