Summary of Welcome to Dongmakgol
This movie shows an extremely remote mountain village in a very small country. These folks are almost nymphs. There came a group of North Korean stragglers who are kind and full of humanism. South Korean deserters who feel guilty about massacre committed by cold-blooded South Korean Army join them. The U.S. Air Force sends devilish commandos and they beat and try to kill innocent villagers. Stragglers and deserters prevent this and they heroically met their death against the U.S Air Force who is hell-bent to annihilate villagers. A propaganda against South Korea and its ally by a South Korean film maker. You can make pop-corn snow with hand grenades if you believe.
