When Dong-gu’s friend and co-worker Jichul suddenly dies, Dong-gu is forced by his boss to find Jichul’s employee ID card. The company that may have driven Jichul to death is now driving Dong-gu to another extreme situation. The film is about the existential crisis that an individual has to go through at work.

The film delicately captures the deep agony that every young person who has just started a career suffers between personal friendship and social status as a member of organization. It also renders the heartless, bitter reality of modern society where solidarity collapses and human values are lost within the system.less
