Tae-su threw firebombs in his youth, took factory jobs under false names to organise workers and scattered leaflets; he still cares about labour, though never about the cooking and cleaning in his own house. Su-min, his daughter, cannot tell the old movement's factions apart and carries a bag covered in green and feminist badges. Their revolutions look nothing alike, yet they love each other and share one trait: both will disrupt anything. So together they plot to make his funeral a riot, a solemn hall handed over to a dog running free.
