Genre

Length
74 minutes
In a world where all is white, a yellow-skinned baby is born. After his parents die, he is taken in by a group of assassins. Hur Bum-wook delivers a devastating first film that draws its influences from Yeon Sangho’s body of work (King of Pigs, The Fake). The use of complex contrasts and a simple, effective style of drawing allow him to explore human cruelty in a dark story that unabashedly mirrors today’s society. An astounding experience.
