30 years later, a dramatized reconstruction of the political and social unrest in South Korea in 1987 after the torture death of a student in a police cell. A meticulous account of events from the attempts to cover up the incident to the ruthless prosecution of anyone who may have been involved in any way in uncovering the scandal. The cast, led by the brutal “communist hunter” Yun-seok Kim, consists of the crème de la crème of contemporary Korean cinema.

On January 14, 1987, 21-year-old South Korean student Park Jong-Chul [Yeo Jin-goo] died as a result of torture ordered by Park Cheo-Won [Kim Yoon-seok], who suspected the student of ties to Communist regime in North Korea. Park's attempt to cover this up is thwarted by persistent prosecutor Choi Hwan [Ha Jung-woo]. What follows is a complex series of incidents with a large number of characters that make Park Jong-Chul a martyr to fellow students. The heart of the film is Yeon-Hee [Kim Tae-ri], a student who lives through her uncle Han Byung-Yong [Yoo Hae-jin], a prison guard, and the charismatic student leader Lee Han-Yeol [Gang Dong-won]. being forced to choose a side in an escalating conflict that resulted in a 20-day series of mass demonstrations. Those who pay attention can easily tell the characters apart in this impressive, dramatized reconstruction of a key moment in South Korean history that is especially impressive during mass scenes and (therefore) has a beautiful denouement.
