After a while, Ingrid starts to feel the presence of her husband in the flat when he is supposed to be at work.

In creative and daring acts of resistance, they launch a series of demonstrations that trace a lineage to Korea's democratic union movements of the 1980s-- denouncing the government and corporate interests, demanding decriminalization, and declaring their rights as workers.
