Mission without return
(Torao jiannum milsa)

This film deals with the struggle for independence at the turn of the century. It features a fascinating re-enactment of the 1907 press conference in The Hague, where Korea became the unhappy plaything of the main imperial powers. In a last-ditch effort to save his country, the emperor sent an official delegation, but the emissary was ultimately betrayed and harakiri’d in front of the diplomats to symbolize his ultimate resistance to the tyranny of Japanese occupation.
