synopsis

Korea’s most famous fool, ONDAL, who turned into a general by the help of a beautiful wife! What if he was not a fool? What if he was a foreigner who stranded in ancient land of  Korea in the era of confucianism? 
We see how language bars us from seeing who that person is through exploring physical communication.
