Propaganda film depicting the North Koreans as desperately trying to escape from the boundries of their nation but being forced to stay by soviet troops.

This is the story of Seok-bin (Kim Jin-gyu), who was tempted by the idea of liberalism, escaped to South Korea after experiencing a conflict with the North Korean society ruled by the Soviet Union. In addition, the love story of Seonya (Monika Yu), daughter of Sukbin and Soviet officer Sirenkov (Kim Seungho), and Seokbin are longing for love, but as a Russian interpreter, Jung Sook (Kim Jimi)'s story of dedicating herself to the Soviet army adds to the melodrama feeling. Infuse into a movie.
