North Korean POWs Geoje.

They were divided into pro-

and anti-communist groups.

The two groups often

fought each other.

Their fighting was more serious

than their struggle to survive.

There were some prisoners

who were trying to escape.

My task was to help them.

After the successful escape of the

prisoners, turmoil spread through the camp,

but was soon quelled.

The search for prisoners

left our town in shambles.

After my father, a communist

party member, was executed,

the only person I could depend

on was Seok, son of our servant.

Seok seemed not to realize

I was also a partly member,

nick named 'Black Narcissus'.

To me, Seok was like a tree,

when I could take shelter

from storm and thunder.

Where is Sohn Ji-Hye?

I don't know.

- I don't see her.

- She's not here.

This is your last chance.

Where is Sohn Ji-Hye?

? My hometown is in the valley

with blossoming flowers.?

? How I miss the times

when I used to play there.?

Seok and I joined

the prisoners.

A 16 year-old prisoner whose

home was Changshin-dong, Seoul

started at his mother's

picture all day long.

In the starry night,

after the day had gone,

he cried, calling out

for his mother.

Then the other prisoners, who

seemed to have fallen asleep,

sobbed together in silence.

The leader of the

prisoners was Han Dong-Ju.

He was a former captain of guerilla unit,

who was a radical prisoner of partizan.

Kang Man-Ho was his fellow

student of elementary school.

He was a fierce communist,

a partisan of Mt. Kumhwa.

I didn't like demeanor.

I managed to survive hiding

under my former classroom.

Some nights the prisoners went

out to get food, taking Seok.

They call it

'supply operations'.

And our pursuers never

noticed our hiding place.

One more step and you die.

That's enough.

From now we'll

dig towards 2:
00.

You think you'll survive

two days on this gruel.

Look at your face, it's already bloated

and dark. We're walking corpses here.

If they find us, you think we can

escape through that tunnel? Idiots!

Soldiers and policemen

are all over the town.

We'll all starve before

finishing that tunnel.

That is all the food we have!

What's going on here?

He tried to escape.

Execute him at once.

Why aren't you sleeping?

A full moon again.

You want something delicious?

Seok, I'm not a rabbit.

Get down!

Promise me, Seok,

you'll be with me always.

Promise!

Ji-Hye, if you no longer exist,

then neither do I.

We will survive this.

I promise.

Excuse me.

Who is it?

Detective Oh Byung-Ho

from Seoul.

Come in.

Whose face are you carving?

Someone you love?

If I carve the face of someone

I love, I make a face of sadness.
