I'll Just Live in Bando

JunKoo Oh is an unemployed middle-aged actor waiting for his big break. He’s got a wife, two children and is an external acting teacher at a university. The family expenses are high as well as his daughter’s tuition fees, and his wife wants to move to a better neighbourhood. When JunKoo Oh finds out that he is to become a full-time employee of the university, he sees it as great news. He also gets a lucrative acting offer, but he can’t accept both. From this moment on, we witness a string of absurd hiccups during which our hero struggles with his own indecisiveness and moral issues. He accidentally learns that an elderly professor, who is responsible for hiring JunKoo to the faculty, is abusing one of the students. If this were to come to light, the professor would be fired and JunKoo’s new job would be lost. Will he finally get a new job or will things work out in an entirely different way? This low-budget Korean film relies on a script full of dry humour rather than on excellent animation and visual style. The film’s ridiculously absurd atmosphere is enhanced by exaggerated facial expressions of its characters. (Anifilm)
