Half a decade into a nuclear winter that was expected to end five summers ago, a 16-year-old Korean boy is doing his best to survive and keep his family alive on the southern half of the peninsula. Over the course of the year, he and his uncle will serve as scouts for their family compound and meet 21 other groups of post-war survivors who will test the boy's own sense of values and what it means to be alive in the first place.
Treating its teenaged audience with the respect they deserve while on their own journey with these questions, A Country Without Uncles takes an unflinching look at what is means to be a boy on the edge of manhood in a world without room for error. When the struggle to not become a dead man is a challenge, what does being a good man even mean?
