A general hospital in Gyeongsang-do in 1990. Woo-sik and Jae-gu are working at the hospital as a receptionist. One day, an AIDS patient enters the hospital. Woo-sik and Jae-gu are instructed to bring the bankbook and the young daughter, Tae-bun, from the home of the AIDS patient who did not pay for the hospital. They head to Tae-bun´s house in fear of getting AIDS.

When we see a man vomiting blood in the beginning, we expect the film to be a horror story. However, as the two naive men begin their journey, what we find is a simple buddy movie. With the introduction of a child, the story seems like a family drama. The story seems to end up in a melodrama, only to be followed by a counterattack in black comedy style. Sick guides us through a complex labyrinth of diverse genres. [JUNG Han-seok]
