“I’m trying to love these people—I’m a documentary filmmaker.”
These are the words of said documentary filmmaker, the wealthy, pampered Ye-ji (Cho Yeo-jeong). She’s attending a funeral with a camera, as one does when you’re on the hunt for a big score and happens on a family argument. Ho-seok (Sul Kyung-gu) is bickering with his wife, Mi-ok (Jeon Do-yeon). He wanted to stay in the car while Mi-ok and their 10-year-old son, Choel (Jeong Seop), paid their respects to Ho-seok’s work buddy who killed himself after being laid off. Ho-seok, a welder, has also been canned, a pain he buries in a bottle. His drinking is a sore point with Mi-ok since he’s promised her he’d only drink in private. Hence the argument, which Ye-ji begins recording without permission, pushing Ho-seok’s anger past the legal limits.
