Promising film-like production values, this show tells the story of an adopted lawyer from Canada (Lee Sung Jae), a Korean singer dreaming of escaping abroad (Kim Min Jung) and her manager (Uhm Tae Woong). However, the two boys are lost brothers, and they love the same woman.

Kim Ki-Duk's second film is the story of two illegal immigrants in Paris, a North-Korean former soldier and a South-Korean street painter, as they both struggle for survival in the French metropolis. Eventually, they develop a strong friendship whilst their association with the local underworld will have dramatic effects on their lives. Definitely not equal to the director's latter efforts, but nonetheless charming and bitter-sweet, the film contains clear evidence of the unique style Kim Ki-Duk would eventually develop. Set in the streets of Paris, where the director had previously studied arts and worked as a street painter (just like one of his main characters).
