| Summary: | Jin-wook is a North Korean defector, who has just graduated from a center for adjusting to South Korea and is now ready to enter the 'real society.' On his first day of moving to a humble apartment, Jin-wook goes out to buy a blanket and then is shocked by the display of capitalism in a megastore nearby. That night, Jin-wook gets lost and coincidently gets on a taxi, which another North Korean defector Hae-jung drives. Hae-jung and Jin-wook who both are new to Seoul try to find his apartment, but can't find it. When morning breaks, Hae-jung leaves and Jin-wook finally finds home. A few days later, Jin-wook travels to Busan to meet his other North Korean defector friends, but encounters an illegal foreign worker, Ting-woon from Vietnam on the way. Even though they don't understand each other's languages, Jin-wook accompanies Ting-woon to Booan in Chollabookdo, where Ting-woon's girlfriend from Vietnam is to marry a Korean man. |
