It’s summer, and the whole Kim family has gathered in Daegu for the ancestral rites. This includes Seong-jin, the eldest grandson of the family, whose father has taken on the family business: a tofu factory. After the rites, family tensions start to rise and Seong-jin drops the bombshell that he won’t be taking on the family business.
Su-kyung lives with her daughter Yi-jung. They don't quite get along, though. Su-kyung is too hot tempered, while Yi-jung is slow and passive. After having a fight one day, Su-kyung runs over Yi-jung, who thinks she did it on purpose. Their clash ends up in court.
Round and Around is an audio-visual project planned and produced to observe modern Korean history on multiple levels. By associating video and exhibition based on archived references, Round and Around intends to overview Korean society in the 1980s based on various non-linear axes of time and space. Jang Minseung's brilliant directing and Jeong Jaeil's choir music created with the excerpts from psalms lead the audience to experience 'Gwangju in May 1980.'
