When he brings his father's body back to their native Kwisong Island for burial, Moon Chae-ku encounters the opposition of many of the islanders, still furious because of a political incident that occurred there decades earlier. Moon's predicament leaves him time to consider the turbulent events of his father's life, events which in many ways reflect the experiences of all Koreans in this tragically divided land.
