One of the most original Korean indies in recent memory, Frankenstein Father roils with the knots that bind, the skeletons that haunt, and the hypocrisy we'll embrace to preserve our fragile self-delusions. This cautionary tale for stiff scientists and back-alley sperm donors at large assembles a monstrous ménage of messed-up genetics, control freak complex, and crippling daddy issues that will curdle your very gene pool. At its center squirms Chi-sung, a medical doctor who seems to have it all together on the outside, but actually lives a life as rigid and constrained as a straightjacket. His routine comes crashing down when Young-jae, not your average wayward son, shows up and claims to be the product of the doc's illicit sperm donation 17 years ago. The teenager demands compensation for his alleged inherited "defects," threatening to expose the illegal nature of the donation if Chi-sung doesn't cough up a cool 100 million won ($70,000). What follows is a twisted game of "defect check," as Chi-sung and Young-jae set out to determine whether the boy's issues truly stem from the doctor's genetic material. But as Chi-sung learns more about Young-jae's past as an athlete with a congenital heart condition, he begins to see glimmers of himself in the boy, recalling his own youthful days as a boxer. Just as their relationship takes on a new dimension, a wild card is thrown on the table!
