Three intrepid—and talkative—robotic rice cookers join forces with Jaha Koo, a celebrated playwright and charismatic performer, to paint an incisive portrait of Koo’s native South Korea. Following a major economic crisis in 1997, the country has grappled with youth unemployment, inequality, and rising suicide rates. Koo bears witness to these crises in humorous but poignant dialogues with the machines, combining personal experience, politics, and reflections on happiness and mortality.
