Synopsis

In Korea, the world’s only divided country, a plastic bag from North Korea drifts into the hands of a South Korean girl, carrying a beetle that turns out to be a North Korean boy’s summer homework. Fearing he may be desperately searching for it, she sets out to return it, and through this unlikely journey, she begins to mend her distant relationship with her father as even the long-frozen ties between North and South show a fragile chance of change.
