73 minutes of corporate dread meets marital sacrifice — Korean indie cinema hits different.
A man always gets scolded at work every day by his boss, and his wife, Lee-soo, who works at the same company, feels sorry for him. She asks their boss to be nice to her husband, but he has no intention of being nice to him. However, he tells her that if she wants to make sure her husband doesn't get cut, she should come to his house on the weekend. Lee-soo is worried but decides to save her husband after he made another mistake, so she heads to their boss's house.
