Sung-nam is a married, middle-aged painter from Seoul who flees to Paris after getting busted for smoking pot with a group of American tourists. Hanging out with an odd group of fellow expatriates, he soon ends up in a triangle with two young students, allowing Hong to perform a typically witty dissection of an insecure male ego."
