  Korean cinema has recently given several proofs of its profound and exclusive artistic activity. Especially this year, thanks to the victory of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival obtained by Parasite, attention towards the seventh Korean art has risen dramatically in Italy as well.

And it is from here that the whole plot develops, introducing North Korean characters who had never been seen on southern TV. 2.
