Synopsis

Agata and Satoshi brothers are out of work, sitting on debt. They receive a suspicious order from a client demanding them to manufacture ten guns in two months. After trial and error, the guns are completed. But the client postpones the payment and orders 40 more. The unfulfilled agreement creates tension between Agata and his client, ultimately leading to a war between them. Now, the number of guns Agata makes is increasing due to the mysterious client"s orders as well as for his own needs. The weapons are not only increasing in size but also in fire power. The brothers create horrific guns capable of dealing a deadly blow to their enemies, but the last minute, everything is destroyed. Using guns, a metaphorical device, the director portrays our desire for and frustration with power, with such intense and vivid violence. (JANG Byung Won)
