South Korean film about a North Korean father-daughter relationship.
Very hard, because everyone longs for freedom and this is very much curbed here, even in two respects.
The film leaves a strong, powerful impression.

You then wonder why missionaries are sent abroad in the first place. Once they have tasted foreign influences, it is self-evident that they are more susceptible to them. It shows how powerful the regime is and will stop at nothing if people do not comply.
Interesting conflict for the father who has to weigh his family against loyalty to the Korean state. The question is whether the latter is out of pure conviction or fear.
