A bittersweet wartime fable about soldiers and enemies finding unexpected humanity and friendship in an isolated village untouched by conflict.

Based on the long running play by Jang Jin, the story is set in Korea during the Korean War in 1950. Soldiers from both the North and South, as well as an American pilot, find themselves in a secluded and naively idealistic village, its residents unaware of the outside world, including the war.
