A raven-black comedy reflecting the aberrant political realities of South Korea. Modeled after real-life extreme right-wing groups, the film follows two men - one a teenager who attacks the democratization movement as a "keyboard warrior", and the other a diehard anti-Communist "patriotic senior citizen." Brought together by chance (fate?), the surrogate grandpa-grandson pair launches bizarre protests against North Korea "sympathizers and spies," ending up with unexpected consequences. But life's absurdities don't stop there.
