Omschrijving
An acerbic debut inviting comparison both with "My Year Of Rest & Relaxation" and "Convenience Store Woman". In contemporary Seoul where extreme plastic surgery is prevalent and everyday, and where difficult social hierarchies have to be acknowledged, four women navigate differing complicated circumstances.
