SYNOPSIS

With the title of a socialist country, North Korea controls its people, restricts information, and continues closed diplomacy with other countries. According to world media reports, North Koreans are seen as separate creatures. But they are ordinary human beings like us. The director wants to show their daily lives around a girl, her nephew born in Pyongyang. Thus, questions are asked about issues that we do not usually try to think about in capitalist society, such as what a country is, what is politics, what is freedom, and what it is like to live like a human being.
