The Clerk
Set during the Ottoman era, the film tells the story of a young clerk living in Üsküdar with his mother. Well educated and polite, he is known by everyone simply as “Katip.” Despite graduating at the top of his class, Katip is unable to secure a government position due to the lack of political connections.

This sharp political satire covers roughly twenty years in South Korean political history, from the viewpoint of the barber's son.
