Though his life was short, his poetry will remain eternal.– In the Japanese colonial era, young Dong-ju writes poems about the harsh reality of his life. As Japan's policies get more serious, writing anything in Korean is prohibited. Just when the slight possibility of publishing his poems seems to have evaporated, a Japanese professor sees Dong-ju's talent and suggests that he publish his poems in English. But before his work is done, Dong-ju is suspected of anti-Japanese activities. Will Dong-ju's dream fail and his poems vanish into thin air? (Moscow International Film Festival)
