Father never cries

The story centers on 63-year-old Jong-chil, who finds himself back in the workforce as a senior water purifier engineer after retiring from public service. As he trains in this new role, he faces the challenges of meeting sales targets and workplace ethics.

Jong-chil's co-worker, Hyun-suk, introduces him to morally questionable practices, urging him to sell a new water purifier under the guise of making repairs. Jong-chil's resistance to this scheme highlights the film's focus on integrity and the dilemmas faced by older workers in a competitive environment.

With a cast featuring Kwak Jin-mu, Park Yeong-deok, Ha Jun-ho, and Park Jung-bum, "Father Never Cries" presents a poignant look at aging and the complexities of modern work life.
