I had a dream once
I'm not sure if
I can fulfill that dream
and it doesn't matter
Even if it doesn't come true
I'll keep dreaming that dream
If there's destiny in life
I might wish to do so
But...
and breaking the
National Security Law
On Aug. 15, 1952
we sentence Kim Sun-myung
to 15 years in prison
directed by
Hong Ki-seon
For spying for the North
and breaking the
National Security Law
on July 25, 1953
we sentence
Kim Sun-myung to death
THE ROAD TAKEN:
February 27, 1954
After a retrial of the
accused Kim Sun-myung
to life imprisonment
From Seoul Prison
to Mapo Penitentiary
to Daegu, Daejeon, Mokpo
and back to Daejeon
I was transferred
to many different prisons
and I met many comrades
I was an ignorant laborer before
But one day I began to recite
Pushkin's "Song of Siberia"
And then in 1970
I...
I faced a big test to my fate
as if it was waiting for me
And with people I'll never forget
Move it!
Hurry and go into your cells!
Comrade Ahn!
Comrade Kim!
Welcome
Nice to see you again
Hello, it's a pleasure
to meet you
Comrade Kim
/'m Kim Sun-myung from Mokpo
Choi In-gyu from Gwangju
How was Mokpo Prison?
Humane
Gave me toasted rice
I envy you!
You're lucky
I haven't had toasted rice
for 18 years
What's the matter?
I was thinking of my mother
Time to eat!
Let's eat
I'm freezing, hurry up
I'm going in
Oh, it's cold
It looks like the needlework
of Master Lee Young-woon
Is Master Lee here?
He gave me one, too
Is he healthy?
What cell is he in?
I haven't seen him
since we left Daegu Prison
Guwol Mountain
Guwol Mountain
The home of partisans
the home of partisans
For my country
for my country
Raise it up high
Oh, it's cold
And I'm still single
I'll get married after
Now Jindo Dog will sing
the 'Arirang' song for you
Cell 15!
Quiet down!
to another cell
- Comrade Ahn
- Comrade Park
- Comrade Nam
- Comrade Park
- Comrade Kim
- Comrade Park
My nickname is Lark
I'd like more rice
from you for two days
They've starved me
for a few days, you see
This is good medicine
for back aches
Here
Take it
Try it
I'm sorry
Hunger is one thing
I can't hold back
Write
And erase
Let me try it
This is amazing
Comrade Kim
we should be careful with this
Comrade Kim
you're talented
'Black bean noodles'
'Hometown'
Reminds me of home
Reunification
What's that?
Who made this?
- Do you all want to die?
- I made it
You again?
What's this for?
Tell me or come out!
- You see...
- What do you want?
Well...
You see
it's for drawing
What? Drawing?
For drawing, I see
Wait, what's after
this 'Re... '?
It's reunification
Reunification
What?
Reunification?
- Nixon made a statement
- About what?
- I heard they'll let us play sports
- It's not true
President Park
declared a state of emergency
was put in cell 5
holiday candies from us
Let's get them back
The North and South
are developing talks
July 4, 1972 at 10 A.M.
Pyongyang and Seoul
made a joint statement
without foreign interference
by peaceful means
solidarity not by ideologies
They compromised
on these conditions
Comrades, the North and South
will both join the UN
Reunification is coming!
Am I dreaming?
I feel so ecstatic!
Comrades
Comrade Kim, pinch me
Mother
Comrade Kim
now it's time for you to marry
The suffering is over
If the statement is true
I'll live a happy life with
my family in my hometown
It's been so long since
I slept with a woman
Comrade Kim
you have no woman, right?
I'll introduce you to one
Great!
You're 40 something, right?
But I still feel like a boy
But Comrade Kim
can you still perform?
What are you doing?
The North-South negotiating
committee has been established
And the North-South Red Cross
meeting will be held soon
The North knows
about how we're suffering
so they'll talk about an
exchange of political prisoners
Comrade Choi
you must be happy
Now you can sleep well
after visiting hours
having no one to come see him
Letters and visiting hours
hurt more than the tortures
I felt like dying then
It's too early for optimism
In reality
it's not that easy
I'll make you all sleep
with a sexy woman tonight
Comrade Nam, there's a way
to dream of a woman
This smells like
a woman's scent, right?
Come on
stand up and dance
Bed time!
Sweet dreams everyone
I'll send a woman
into your dreams tonight
Her soft pink skirt is
waving before my eyes
On the hill of my hometown
her face delights me
I'm running to her
in my dream
Here! It's a special meal!
