1980年5月光州事件以来，韩国在军政府独裁统治的道路上越走越远。伴随着民主人士此起彼伏的自由呼吁，政府对人权的压制与践踏也日益猖獗。位于首尔南营洞的秘密据点，曾带给许多民主人士难以磨灭的惨痛回忆。1985年9月的一天，民主化运动人士金钟泰（朴元尚 饰）被秘密逮捕，旋即投入南营洞。在这个阴森冰冷的所在，他被迫不眠不休写下个人简历，还要时刻遭受审讯人员的拳打脚踢和人格侮辱。为了迫使金写下伪造供词，以刑讯专家李斗焕（李庆荣 饰）为代表的一群冷酷男子，采用花样百出的暴力手段，对金进行了长达二十多天的折磨。他们亲手缔造了一个民族最不堪回首的历史……本片根据真人真事改编。

影片讲述了韩国刑警们展开“扫荡暴力作战”行动，将新兴犯罪组织一网打尽的的故事。

Kato is an aspiring screenwriter treading water. He spends his days pitching stories to offbeat agents and executives who are anything but impressed. Not that he has run out of ideas, they just don’t seem to go anywhere. Unlike his relationship with his girlfriend Zigzag – that one is going down the drain. Little does Kato – or anyone – know that life is about to take some seriously weird turns.While out to buy the special brand of food for his girlfriend’s dog Cerberus, Kato discovers an abandoned convenience store that transforms his trajectory. A stumble into a refrigerator catapults him into a realm of fantastical inspiration boosted by an eccentric couple he meets along the way. Might this be the key to getting his mojo back?Miki Satoshi (Adrift in Tokyo, What to Do with the Dead Kaiju?) returns with a surreal and quirky indie film that manages to be both charming and deeply philosophical. Teaming up with Japanese cinema expert and notable critic for The Japan Times Mark Schilling (Art, Cult and Commerce: Japanese Cinema Since 2000), Convenience Story takes you on an eccentric Dantean ride brimming with psychological tension and the zest of karma. From the purgatory of writer’s block, to a hell of an adventure, Kato’s journey is a satisfying and thoughtful tale.源自：
