Synopsis

Since the hospitals represent fear and distress in our sub-conscious mind, any film set in a hospital is bound to have an element of depression. This film is somewhat different, however. Two men are lying side by side in a small ward at the hospital. One has an abdomen wound while the other has plasters all over his body. The puzzling base of the hostility between them is slowly made comprehensible and the film turns into a wonderfully ridiculous comedy. Then, the director leads these two stubborn men to the bloody finale they deserve. (KIM Eui-Chan)
