I Am Sun Mu plot

Sun Mu is one of the first North Korean artists to be able to share their work with the rest of the world. In the 1990s he fled to South Korea, where he has been making moving paintings ever since: red, white and blue images of dictator Kim Il-Sung and endearing portraits of indoctrinated youth. Despite his bleak past, he is not necessarily spiteful: he still hopes that North and South Korea will be united. His highly politicized oeuvre is discovered by a curator who wants to display it in his gallery in Beijing. This is how the film starts, as a prelude to the exhibition, four months before the opening. Tension gradually builds when it turns out that displaying Sun Mu's work is a risky undertaking.
