Set against the backdrop of 1980s South Korea, this gripping drama follows the story of a disgraced former police officer, now struggling to make ends meet in poverty. Circumstances take an unexpected turn when he is admitted to a rehabilitation center and finds himself sharing its walls with the very Communist guerilla who had managed to slip through his grasp over three decades prior. As their paths cross once more, the two men are forced to confront their shared past and grapple with the weight of their own personal demons, set against the complex political landscape of a rapidly changing nation. The film artfully weaves themes of redemption, loss, and the enduring effects of history, offering a poignant meditation on the human condition.
