Synopsis
Woo-seok the inventor lives with his son, Jae-woo. Although Woo-seok is a talented engineer, he lives in poverty because he hasn’t made many inventions. But he works hard to create a better life for his son. One day, some clients come to him to buy his inventions. While dealing with the clients, Woo-seok becomes distracted by his desire for wealth and success. In a horrible accident, Jae-woo loses his arm. Feeling guilty, Woo-seok produces a robot arm for Jae-woo. After Woo-seok successfully transplants the new arm, a mob praises him. Once again, he becomes obsessed with wealth and success. As a result, Jae-woo suffers another accident and becomes absurdly mechanized. Now Woo-seok can no longer get close to his son.
Purpose

Marshall McLuhan, a Canadian theorist on media, argues that a series of contents that influence the masses or society is influenced by the media formats that deliver those contents rather than by the contents themselves. I agree with his theory, but I substitute media and contents for the capitalist social system and the members of its society. Although individuals in the society are very diverse and have their own unique personalities, they cannot help being affected by the social system of capitalism; this is similar to the situation in which media containing certain contents influences society at large.

I concluded that the problems and suffering of human beings—war, environmental problems, and human right issues—are not caused by the desires or self-centered minds of individuals but by the social system of capitalism.

I produced this film in order to share this idea with my viewers. The film shows how the loving relationship between a father and son unintentionally turns into estrangement from each other. I hope this allows us to reflect on the important influences on our lives from a new point of view.
