The story is mainly about the friendship between North and South Korean soldiers. The Joint Security Area JSA is located near Panmunjom, and its two sides are jointly guarded by North and South Korea. One day, gunshots pierced the silent night sky, and a South Korean soldier killed two North Korean soldiers and wounded one in an area guarded by the North. The incident eventually sparked a fierce gun battle. The relationship between North and South Korea became very tense immediately, and it was on the verge of breaking out. The Neutral Nations Supervisory Committee, which is composed of soldiers from Switzerland and Sweden, sent Sophie, a Swiss second lieutenant, to investigate the matter. The investigation did not go well. The North and the South held their own words, and the two surviving parties were silent, the other was emotional. But under Sophie's unremitting efforts, all the problems were solved one by one, and the true face of the whole incident was revealed.

Many details in the film left a deep impression on me, painstakingly adjusting the camera angle in the Northern Dynasty post, jokingly spitting at each other on duty, the little panic caused by a gust of wind, the black and white picture at the end of the film. Photo... "It was born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other", I hope that peace can belong to those who love peace, but it is a pity that beautiful ideals always bow their heads in the face of cruel reality.
