A struggling Tailor makes ends meet as an underground surgeon but is caught between a gang war.

Program Note

In a Korean town, there is a small tailor’s shop. The diligent owner runs it smoothly but plans to move the store to a new location for a more stable fresh start. However, one loyal customer opposes his plans, and a surprising twist reveals the hidden secrets of a seemingly polite gentleman. One fateful night, the owner is caught up in a big disturbance, and his plans begin to unravel. With the backdrop of a sophisticated tailor shop and occasional glimpses of classic Korean music, it’s a fine example of well-crafted K-culture, both refined and stylish. (Kani KIM)
