“With humour blacker than black bean noodles, the film is a masterful work of cinema which might well be Chan-wook’s masterpiece” – Timeout
Man-su (Lee Byung Hun), a specialist in paper manufacturing with 25 years of experience, is suddenly informed by his company that he has been fired.
Feeling shocked as if his head had been cut off by an ax, Man-su vows to find himself a new job within the next three months for the sake of his family. Despite his firm resolve to turn his life around, Man-su spends over a year drifting from one job interview after another, and working at a retail store. He eventually finds himself in danger of losing the very house that he struggled so hard to buy.
Desperate, he visits Moon Paper out of the blue and tries to hand over his CV, but he just ends up getting humiliated by line manager Choi Sun-chul (Park Hee Soon). Man-su knows he is better qualified than anyone to work at Moon Paper, so he comes to a certain decision.
“If there is no opening for me, I’ll just have to get hired by creating an opening.”
