Actors:Park Ji-il, Jeong Ha-dam, Sung Hyun-Ah

A North Korean fisherman heads out to sea as he does every day and drifts into South Korean waters when his engine fails. He is taken into custody and tortured by the police, who suspect him of being a spy. After harsh interrogation he barely manages to convince the South Korean police, but when he returns to his country he faces similar interrogation. Through the story of an individual fisherman Kim Ki-duk addresses the political issues of divided Korea, but rather than providing answers he chooses to approach his subject in an inquiring manner.
