“A subcontracted worker is a human being, too. I want to live like a human!”

The death of Bak Il-su, a subcontracted worker at Hyundai Heavy Industries on February 14, 2004, remains a painful record of a fierce era in the labor movement. Over twenty years later, the two protagonists who once stood at the center of that struggle, Jo Seong-ung and Wu Chang-su, have left the factories and cities for the mountains of Hwacheon and the wetlands of Changnyeong.

The film quietly traces their lives today—cultivating the land, writing poetry, and composing children's songs—exploring how memories of the past transform into a "botanical resistance" and a "life full of spirituality." Departing from the conventional narratives of documentary filmmaking, visual artist and director Hong Jin-hwon reshapes the relationship between narrative, image, and sound. Within the gaps of these divided records, he invites the audience to sense the possibility of a new revolution that cannot be abandoned. The film’s experimental form was recognized with an invitation to the Frontier section of the 17th DMZ International Documentary Film Festival in 2025.
