Divided into chapters, the documentary examines Jang's career and films from many different angles and includes the voices not only of those who have worked with Jang but also of numerous ordinary Koreans who have been affected by his work. Individual chapters are devoted to such topics as Jang's idiosyncratic hairstyle and the controversy surrounding his previous feature Lies. The documentary tries to place Jang and his work in the widest possible social context, not only in the context of Korean cinema. At its heart is a series of remarkably candid and revealing interviews with Jang himself.

Con ritmo lento, Nelson Yu Lik-wai nos pinta la penosa y triste vida de estos personajes sin rumbo ni ilusiones dignas de este nombre, y que nunca se plantean la bondad o maldad de lo que hacen
