This film is an anthology of shorts by six leading Korean directors.

It was made for the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, which asked each director to craft an episode dealing with an aspect of discrimination. The films range from Park Kwang-Su’s car park ghost story, to Park Chan-wook’s (Old Boy) story of racial prejudice and the economic exploitation of immigrant workers through the real-life story of a Nepalese woman in Korea.

Jeong Jae-eun (Take Care of My Cat) tackles the plight of a paedophile released into the community. Yeo Gyun-dong invites disabled actor Kim Moon-joo to re-enact his most famous protest. Finally, Im Soon-rye (Waikiki Brothers) considers the engrained sexism of Korean men with superb wit and Park Jin-pyo (Too Young to Die) confronts the horror of children forced into oral surgery to improve their English-speaking ability.
