- Synopsis
- Three desperados make a dead run on hot, scorching asphalt in search of freedom but collide head-on with the crude realities of life in the award-winning independent film Off Road. This low-budget, road movie revolves around three social misfits: a slacker car-wash employee who longs to escape his daily grinds, an ex-banker-turned-taxi driver who has no hope for the future, and a prostitute who dreams of returning to a normal lifestyle. Detouring from the normal route, they find much sought after escapism, though clear signs of impending doom looms on the horizon. Selected as the opening film at the 2007 Jeonju International Film Festival and invited to compete in the international film category at the Tampere international Short Film Festival, Off Road was jointly funded by the Korean Film Council and the local government of North Jeolla Province, Korea. A graduate of the prestigious Korea National University of Arts and currently a professor at Jeonju university, director Han Seung Ryong, who previously co-edited films like Bongja,Resurrection of the Little Match Girl, and Untold Scandal, offers a sensitive and poignant insight into the agony and struggles of youth.
One day, disgruntled car-wash employee Cheol Gu (Baek Soo Jang, See You After School) robs a bank. Stuffing the stolen cash into a bag, he runs into a taxi that happened to be parked in front of the bank and threatens taxi driver Sang Hoon (Jo Han Cheol, Peppermint Candy) to speed away. As luck would have it, Sang Hoon was in the middle of robbing the same bank; he was waiting for his partner-in-crime to withdraw a large sum of money from the bank when Cheol Gu barged into his cab totally ruining his plan. While speeding on the highways, a gunshot injures Cheol Gu's shoulder and the two men quickly take cover at a nearby motel to treat the wound. There they run into an attractive prostitute Ji Soo (Sun Woo Sun, My Scary Girl). With all eyes on the moneybag, the three outlaws jump on the ride of their lifetime.- Movie Soulmates' ratings
