People and Meat

Minho returns to his hometown after years away. His father, the owner of a small butcher shop, is gravely ill. The young man is forced to take over the family business, which is intertwined with dark childhood memories. Each day behind the counter becomes an ordeal as the past resurfaces through the smell of raw meat and the sound of the cleaver. The 2025 drama explores inheritance—not just of a business, but of unspoken pain passed between generations. The film walks the line between family saga and psychological thriller, where the very product of trade becomes a metaphor for decay. Minho's relationship with his aging father, who never learned to speak about feelings, gradually shifts under the weight of circumstance and impending loss.
