Move the Grave

이장

A dysfunctional family is forced begrudgingly into an instant reunion when they have to move their father’s grave due to construction. Four bickering sisters and one nightmarish problem child take a road trip from hell to the home of their surly uncle to settle accounts. From obnoxious to self-centered, rebellious and just beleaguered by life, there is nary a redeemable one in the bunch. This dark comedy of both manners and errors mixes astute social, psychological and even political observations with cringeworthy moments that escalate out of control. A candid critique of modern society as funny as it is cruel.
