An Absurd Thing

JUNG Jae-yong

Korea201826min World Premiere

Synopsis

One day, a mysterious creature grew on Man's shoulder. Anywhere, even from science and religion, clearly finds no reason. The movie is a metaphor for social obsession and meaningless definition to try to explain the phenomenon.

Program Note

Something is growing out of Nam-jun’s shoulder, but why is this monster there and how it can be removed? He gets no clear answers from either the hospital or the church. An Absurd Thing is satirical and shows ‘something beyond reason’ with xtraordinary imagination. (Rhana JANG)
