Summaries

A pressured accountant, his war veteran brother and their dysfunctional family struggle with integrating into post-War Korean society.

A public accountant's salary is far too small for him to even get a cavity fixed, let alone support his family. However, he must somehow provide for his senile, shell-shocked mother, his malnurished, pregnant wife, a younger brother who won't work, his unmarried sister who is prostituting herself to foreigners for extra money, and two young children.—Anonymous
