As a dual citizen, Korean American Jinwoo (Andy Koh) is exempt from the military service normally required of South Korean men. He nonetheless returns to Seoul and voluntarily enlists, hoping to join the Korean forces serving abroad in some unspecified crisis zone. On his last day before reporting for duty, Jinwoo reconnects with old friends—chief among them Minji (So-yi Kang), for whom he carries a long-burning torch—and his emotionally-distant father (Gwang-rok Oh, of Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance" trilogy). But as the hours tick down to his induction, Jinwoo's determination flags, and his motivations look hazier even to himself. James Choi's microbudget odyssey conceals a hefty emotional punch beneath its quiet exterior, delivering a timely contemplation of the search for identity and purpose in a world coming apart at the seams.
