Cukoo is a journey through the last twenty years of the Korean history, told by a group of rice-cookers tampered with to become talkative.
Born in 1984, Jaha Koo grew up in South Korea, one of the countries most affected by the Asian economic crisis in 1997.
In a funny and sharp dialogue, Jaha and his smart appliances list the technological evolutions and the limitations of humankind. Their exchanges tackle the consequences of that crisis on the Korean society and the loneliness it generated. How can one grow up in a society focusing on performance and high technology and where social isolation, unemployment of youth and suicide are the highest in the world? With humour, Jaha Koo talks with his only partners, those three rice-cookers vital to serve the daily portion of rice in South Korean. Combined with his personal and touching experience, Jaha Koo offers a smart analysis of a society pulled in different directions.
