In April 2014, the tragic sinking of the Sewol Ferry in South Korea left an indelible mark on the nation as it claimed the lives of 304 passengers, most of whom were students. This devastating maritime disaster not only led to a significant loss of life but also deeply wounded the collective psyche of the country, causing a sense of disillusionment and betrayal. The film explores the harrowing circumstances surrounding this event and questions why the rescue efforts for the young passengers and fellow Koreans were delayed and seemingly forgotten on that fateful day. It delves into themes of inefficiency, corruption, and the human cost of bureaucratic failure while painting a raw and poignant portrait of a nation struggling to come to terms with its own trauma.
