Synopsis

Punk maniacs worship the legendary Japanese rock band Guitar Wolf. This eccentric band, which recruits members based on rudeness rather than musical talent, visited Korea in April 2006. Even if they collapse backstage, they show off their No.1 kicks on stage, never take off their leather jackets even under the scorching sun, and wear sunglasses even to bed. Following their every move—from live performances to international film festivals—this film attempts to capture the raw, untamed spirit of Rock 'n' Roll.
