The discovery of one of the world’s last remaining communist countries, North Korea, seen through the eyes of a young woman from Antwerp of Korean origin. Adopted as a Belgian citizen, she decides to return to her native country, whose language she does not even speak. A stereotypical vision of everyday life in North Korea?
