Director's Inspiration

 

As everything in the world repeats through the cycle, 

life of parents repeats through the life of children. Left-leaning son and Right-leaning dad. 

Their conflict seems irrevocable but the son is just a duplicate of the dad, all things considered. 

I wanted to say that life itself going through generations not only in family but also in society takes priority over all the ideologies.



Synopsis

 

50 years old poet `Youngjo` got new wish list -brand new ‘adidas’ soccer shoes- 

He asks his dad for borrowing money, but his dad is really tough. 

On his way home after interview for part-time job, Youngjo saw a banner about senior pension by government, so that he visits office. 

Though he is refused for being too young but he gets sensational idea. 

That`s getting the pension `in the name of his father` using his dad-like face with special make up.
