- Synopsis
- In May, 2006, after the forced demolition by the Ministry of National Defense, people who wanted to protect Daechuri moved to the village. While living in an empty house, we did farm work and drank with the villagers. What did they want to protect in the disappearing village?
- Director's Note
- In May, 2006, a village disappeared from the map. Daechuri, which was planned to become an Air Force base, was like an isolated island. What did people do amidst continuous surveillance, control, and threat of dismantle? The film is a communal memory of Daechuri which no longer exists.
