Synopsis
tells the story of LEE Kyou-young, formerly of the punk record label 'Cultural Fraud'. When he accidentally knocks up his girlfriend, he ends his musical career and returns home, Incheon which is a city once called 'the Cradle of Heavy Metal'. But it's now a vapid city, a barren ground for rock music. But not long after getting hiselectrician's license; "Because electricity is just as stimulating as rock" and settling down with his family, LEE founds the indie label 'Ruby Salon' in the center of a motel-filled avenue in this city and starts gathering bands together. Can they really make 'Ruby Salon' Korea's top label?
Director's Note
In a land where even rock and roll is turned into a silly melodrama, I've always wanted to see a ballsy music documentary. Since no one was up to it, I did it myself.
