Synopsis

Kazuhiko, a graduate of a prestigious university, isn’t enjoying his life. He takes a job at a bathhouse where he discovers that the baths are used as a space for killing people after closing hours.

Program Note

A youth that graduated from Tokyo University but continues an idle life starts to work part-time at a local public bath. At night, the bath becomes a place where people are killed and secretly disposed of. Witnessing the scene, the youth becomes an accomplice and experiences a world that he could never imagine. A drama composed of ordinary life and action digs into the question of what makes modern people happy in a unique way. (KIM Bong-seok)
