In 1987 Korea, under an oppressive military regime, a college student gets killed during a police interrogation involving torture. Government officials are quick to cover up the death and order the body to be cremated. A prosecutor who is supposed to sign the cremation release, raises questions about a 21-year-old kid dying of a heart attack, and begins looking into the case for the truth. Despite a systematic attempt to silence everyone involved in the case, the truth gets out, causing an eruption of public outrage.

Moved by these Koreans in the movie
Fighting against autocracy is so hard as an armless civilian that you have to be really brave and ready to sacrifice. The leading actress shows true reaction of an ordinary college student, which tests me as an audience if I would stand up against the evil, especially I might face similar situations in the real world, living under an autocratic regime.
