Sung Han Mo (Song Kang Ho) is an ordinary barber and friendly neighbor. Although his shop is located in the same neighborhood as the Blue House, the Korean president's residence, Han Mo is largely uninterested in politics, more concerned with his wife and newborn son – he hardly notices the turmoil that unfolds in the 1960s after General Park Chung Hee takes over the country following President Syngman Rhee's resignation. However, Han Mo's politically ignorant life takes a sharp turn when he accidentally helps catch a spy in his barbershop, leading to his appointment as the president's official barber. This 2004 Korean movie was directed by Im Chan Sang.
