SYNOPSIS

This is where the original inhabitants have lived for decades, and now they have to leave this place due to the unilateral order to move by the government. There used to be a big automobile company to support the local area, but they expelled more than 2,000 laborers from the factory overnight. They turned away from the death of laborers. This is Pyeongtaek. Ansan is where our children used to live. The children now disappeared for some unaccountable reason. Still, there are people living in these two backward lands. We can say that they survived.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Why did we accept many deaths only as rupture and not continue wide solidarity of human beings? Thus, now, why did we make this irresponsible world? I would like to write a letter of apology about the tragedy that happened in the small towns, Pyeongtaek and Ansan for the last decade.
