What Is Excavator About?

Twenty years after his service in the army, a former paratrooper working as an excavator driver unearths a skull while working. Haunted by his past involvement in suppressing the May 18th Democratic Uprising in Korea in 1980, he uses his excavator to visit his former superiors.
