The film opens with a director’s suicide and epitomizes the Korean New Wave’s satirical assault on 1980s Korean society, using dark humor to critique social inequality and cultural stagnation. It follows marginalised characters living low‑life on society’s fringes; their fleeting journey grants them a brief taste of liberation and empowerment.
