Poongsan is a trafficker; not your regular type dealing with drugs but one who crosses over North and
South Korea helping to reunite separated families. It is
an extremely dangerous job where he could be shot
or imprisoned at any moment. He receives a secret
request by South Korean government agents to retrieve the lover, In-oak, of an important North Korean
defector. He sneaks into the North to bring her over
with relatively little difficulty but on their way back
to South Korea, they fall for each other while experiencing life-and-death situations. Upon their arrival,
they’re welcomed by agents who capture and torture
Poongsan while In-oak gets disappointed with her
old lover who has changed so much over the past
years. Poongsan must decide to take care of himself
or liberate In-oak and escape from agents of the government.

Poongsan is a promising second feature from director Juhn Jai-hong a long time assistant to acclaimed
director Kim Ki-duk. The two have worked on many
features together such as the 2008 hit Breathe and
continue to do so with Kim Ki-duk acting as screenwriter for this feature.
