It is the 1970s and President Park rules South Korea with an iron fist, ably and forcefully abetted by the KCIA. However, his reign of terror begins to crumble when a former KCIA director seeks exile in the US. It falls to the current KCIA director to defuse the mounting tensions. A political thriller that deftly unpicks the complexities of a real event. (Fribourg International Film Festival)
