A melancholic portrait of two brothers struggling against poverty and displacement in post-war Korea, bound by family obligation but adrift in a world that offers them little.

Two brothers—Chul-ho, an accountant with a toothache and a pregnant wife, and Yong-ho, an unemployed ex-soldier wounded in battle—navigate life in post-war Korea.
