The film takes the life memories of an ordinary Korean old man born in the 1940s as the main line, reflecting the development history of South Korea for nearly half a century, and the simple expressions converge into a thick and warm national history of the country.
After the end of the Korean War, both the north and the south began a period of hardships and hardships of recovery. In the poor 1950s, in the 1960s, he raised college tuition for his younger brother, went to West Germany to work as a coal digger, and in the 1970s went to Vietnam to help the United States fight in the war. Father and sister. The director used several typical events to strut the contemporary history of Korea, especially before Korea took off as the Four Little Dragons, countless protagonists worked hard as laborers all over the world, laying the foundation for their take-off.

They were called "blind migrant workers, migrant workers, factory girls, migrant workers..." , in workshops, in construction sites all over the country to make a living, in an environment where the legal system and social security are not perfect, they are extremely difficult, it is their cheap blood and sweat that has laid the foundation for today. works to keep an eye on them. This is the difference!
