The Girl from the South

1989. A Chance leads Argentine documentary filmmaker José Luis García to North Korea, for the last international conference of communist youth, a trip he refers to as “revolutionary tourism”, where he learns of Lim Su-Kyong, a S. Korean student activist, who had come to demand the reunification of North and South Korea. She promises to cross back into South Korea on foot at the border in Pyongyang, where soldiers stand in a perpetual face-off. Twenty years later García embarks upon a trip to find out what has happened to the girl who was once hailed as “The Flower of Reunification”?
