SYNOPSIS
Once famous for his quick blade, a retired assassin can no longer earn a living with his cut-throat skills. Summoned again, he partners with his chauffeur to carry out special missions – fulfilling the wishes of old people looking to kill themselves. When commissioned by a young girl who has been deserted by her parents and her lover, the “Elderly’s Angel” squad finds an arresting way to complete their task. New director Ricky Ko talks about the loneliness and depression of the elderly in a black comedy that isn’t precisely comical.
