What happens

Family Ties (Korean: 가족의 탄생; lit. 'Birth of a Family') is the second film by South Korean director Kim Tae-yong. Mismarketed as a slapstick comedy through its promotional posters, the film is actually a generation-to-generation view of two families through love and life. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
