LOGLINE

A politician dreaming of Korean unification thinks about marriage and unity amid divorce and political controversy.

SYNOPSIS

Disgraced politician Myung-ho now lives in quiet exile at "Korea-Eurasia Transcontinental Railway Promotion Committee". Far from the ruthless political arena of intrigue and betrayal, he finds solace in researching the inter-Korean railway. Meanwhile, his wife, disappointed by his loss of ambition, decides to divorce him and enter politics herself. Her bold move shakes up the political landscape and ignites fierce controversy. Strangely, as the uproar grows, Myung-ho becomes even more obsessed with pushing the railway project forward, as if trying to escape the turmoil engulfing him.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

The sharpest joke about unification, marriage, and politics: Marriage may be as difficult as unification, or perhaps unification is as easy as marriage. In a world that seems complicated, we must start with the effort to understand each other. In the end, only sincere conversation is the answer.
