Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
When an old Korean patriarch dies on a short bicycle trip, it prompts his large family and his friends to reunite. This episodic and satirical comedy chronicles each arrival and each scene is interspersed with glimpses of all stages of the funeral process ranging from the preparation of the body to ritual animal sacrifice, to a struggle between traditional mourning procedures and modern ways.
