In Korea, a little Buddhist monk (really very dwarf-sized) dreams
of the Western world and secretly reads up on Western culture. When
he meets the holidaying French couple Napoleon Chirac and
Jacqueline Bloodymary he offers his services as their guide, in the
hope they will take him, a penniless monk, to Europe. He whisks
them off on a tour of the temples. Among the many twists and turns,
our stunned tourists encounter a suicidal horse and discover that a
person can also be a robot. Though our monk appears to them as the
very spirit of tourism, nothing is natural in this tour de force of
Aira's twisted imagination.
