Synopsis of DAYTIME DRINKING:

One of the rudest things you can do in Korea is turn down a drink. It's like spitting in someone's face. DAYTIME DRINKING is a rapidly escalating farce that tweaks the humiliation-meter up and up and up and up as Hyuk-Jin, newly broken up with his girlfriend, finds himself bullied into drinking an infinite amount of soju in a series of progressively more surreal situations. The debut film from Noh Young-Seok, Drinking became a word-of-mouth hit in Korea and has played dozens of film festivals around the world. With a vibe somewhere between Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise and Broken Lizard's Beerfest, the only thing dry about this flick is its humor.
