Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

In the early 1990s, Somalia's once-thriving capital city, Mogadishu, descends into a violent and brutal civil war. At the city's South Korean embassy, the families of the dignitaries and the staff find themselves without any means of escape, caught in the crossfire of the conflict. As the people grapple with the cruel possibility of their encroaching deaths, they receive an unlikely call from the North Korean embassy with a plan to flee the city and return to the Korean peninsula. Directed by Seung-wan Ryoo. Kim Yoon-seok, In-Sung Jo, and Joon-ho Huh co-star.
