In January 1991 Mogadishu is the scene of bloody fighting between the Somali government army and rebels who want to overthrow the president. This film brings a dramatized reconstruction of the "fraternal" escape of South and North Korean diplomats (and their families) from that battle. Unfortunately, at times the filmmakers let their imagination run wild and did not resist the urge to immerse the film in a South Korean propaganda sauce. Apart from that, it is quite a nice film, which is interspersed with the necessary violence in tried and tested Korean.

While Black Hawk down was going on and US soldiers were making their way through the Somali capital, diplomats from all over the world were trying to flee the country elsewhere in the capital. This is the special story of North and South Korean diplomats and personnel who had to rely on each other due to these acute circumstances. Personal resentments and distrust had to be pushed aside in order to survive.

The film is quite sluggish for a long time and not always exciting. It's only when all hell really breaks loose and the escape is a fact that it gets a bit more intense. Perhaps you should also take the freedom of the film industry for granted. But the ride was rough.

Also interesting when the group arrived in Mombasa, Kenya, and were met by government officials of both countries, that there should be no more harmony and cooperation. Back to reality with the sometimes absurd political protocols and bureaucratic (non-)treaties.
