Excavator (2017)

Two decades removed from military service, an excavator operator and former paratrooper unearths a skull, a relic that exhumes buried trauma. He was once deployed to quell the 1980 May 18th Democratic Uprising in Korea. This grim discovery propels him on a haunting odyssey. Driving his machine, he confronts his past, visiting former commanders. He soon understands they are all inextricably bound, both perpetrators and casualties, forever scarred by the tumultuous era. The past casts a long, unforgiving shadow.
