PLOT

A Joseon-era urn met by chance at an antique shop in Kyoto devotes the life of Jeong Jo-mun, a Zainichi Korean businessman who succeeded in pachinko, to recovering Joseon cultural assets in Japan. Jeongjo Moon, who was not welcomed anywhere in North and South Korea during his lifetime and did not step on the lands of both countries until the end. About 1,700 cultural assets containing the dreams of his life were reborn as the Goryeo Museum in Kyoto and are there with a will to return them to the unified country. A period of liberation, division, and ideology. Family and acquaintances remember and convey the story of a Korean who tried to find traces of his motherland in Japan's Zainichi society, which was as chaotic as his motherland. And the director captured those memories crudely and plainly.
