SYNOPSIS

Lee Ra-el is a student studying for a civil service exam that will transform her life, and is the sole meaning to her mother's existence. While working part-time at an all-you-can-eat restaurant that promises “premium Korean pork, or 100 thousand dollar compensation,” an ill-mannered customer stubbornly asks for “premium Korean pork.” Ra-el is repeatedly forced to bring on new meat to the unyielding customer who is demanding “premium” meat. What has led her life to this point? Will Ra-el make it through?

DIRECTING INTENTION

A story of faith placed in another’s belief from their soured greed. A story of a generation that has lost their own goals, living to fulfill another’s desire.
