SYNOPSIS

In a fitness club, many people are on a desperate mission to lose weight. Once they have slimmed down, they are able to squeeze through a small hole and leave the club. A man cannot bear the pressure when his friend leaves the club and breaks down the wall, which is in fact, is full of holes. Beyond the wall, he witnesses a sight that he had never expected. You might imagine this is a reality TV show based on losing weight, but the moral of this film seems to mock the need for such desperate measures. However, the last scene presents a slight misunderstanding with regards to traditional Asian culture. We just have to keep in mind that Japan is not the sports heaven for the obese. (Kim Joon-yang)
