Ppongddol dreams of forming a band and having a successful career. He names his band 'Golden Chariot’ after a worn-out, orange cart he found on the street, giving it exaggerated meaning. Ppongddol suggests that his village friends join the band, using this cart to carry instruments as well as cabbages. Although they readily accept the offer, the band is in conflict from the first moment all eight of them meet.
Meanwhile, Ppongddol is the youngest of four brothers. He was thrown out of his family along with his second eldest brother. One day the second eldest brother visits him after a long time. Reminiscing the past, they blame each other for being kicked out of their family. The two brothers decide to visit their eldest brother who is sick with terminal cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, to apologize and ask for some of the family's fortune. While they try to sell his house to make money, the third eldest brother is also after the inheritance. Knowing that he doesn't have long to live, the eldest brother announces that he will give out his property only if the three brothers go on a trip together. Meanwhile, ‘Golden Carriage’ is also on a trip to make up with each other. What will they get from these special trips?
<Golden Chariot in the Sky> is the fifth feature film from the director O Muel, who made a name for himself through <Jiseul> which was shown at as many as 19 international film festivals in 2012. <Golden Chariot in the Sky> is also a film about music, after a long break since his 2009 film, <Nostalgia>.
The three brothers who love and hate each other, and the band Golden Carriage who is frequently in conflicts, choose to ‘travel’ with each other to overcome their troublesome situation. The story of the two trips move towards the climax as they meet and say goodbye, quarrel, and reconcile over and over again. With ‘O Muel Division’ actors expressing humor, sorrow, anger and brotherhood, a Korean ska band Kingston Rudieska made their debut as actors. Their merry tunes in the film will make the audiences dance.
