A voyage to Korea in the sixties, entirely dedicated to the music of Bae Ho.
Completely unknown outside of his country of birth, the crooner Bae Ho was a celebrity in Korea, and it was hard to come across an Ajuma (a Korean middle ages woman) who would not sing at east one of his songs by heart. The challenge took up by Baeshi Bang was to recreate some of this forgotten charm, without a singer yet with full use of modern technology.
