This movie is based on a true story of how the farming settlment was born

in Bangwu-ri, Buri-myeon, Guemsan-gun South Chungcheong Province.

Hey, you see this?

You eat and drink here thanks to us! So I want my respect!

I should gouge out your eyes!

Stop it. It's our fault.

I'm not drinking for free!

I'll pay you when I get some money!

Sir, this is too much.

What? Too much?

Do you think you're the only ones hurt by the war?

What?

We, women, were hurt too and here we are, working like this.

Perhaps our wounds are deeper

and more painful than yours.

At least, you have your medals.

But we don't even have such things.

The damned medals! You can take them!

Hey, you are drunk. Let's go.

Let's go.

Get out of my way.

What are you looking at?

Hey!

Excuse me. Excuse me!

You should take this.

I'm sorry.

You, fool! Why are you crying?

At least, you still have tears left.

I left all my tears at the military hospital.

Don't be a wise guy!

Just what are we living for?

We roam around like trash and people look down on us.

Cut the talk! Let's just go. What can we do?

It's so bleak! So dark.

You are not the only one feeling that way.

We lost our dreams a long time ago.

Yong!

Is that you, Yong?

Yong!

Where have you been?

What are you doing out here?

Here, we bought something for you.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Come on. Speak!

What's wrong? Did something happen?

I got a telegram from your place.

A telegram?

Your father is in a critical condition.

I got the telegram as soon as you left.

I came out to find you but I didn't know where to go.

My home is in the most remote country, near Gucheon-dong, Muju.

A wretched little valley in the middle of nowhere.

There is land with blue waters of Geumgang River flowing through it.

However the valley is infertile with little land that yields crop.

There's nothing but the sky and the mountains all around.

During the Japanese rule, the soldiers came to collect the food quota delivery

but all they could get from the whole village were four sacks of rice.

That's how poor my village is.

Grandpa, have some rice cakes.

Rice cakes? Where did you get the rice?

I borrowed a little from the master in the next village.

Today's your birthday.

You shouldn't have.

How are we going to pay it back?

I'll pay it back in labor during next harvest.

Go and have some. Don't worry, Grandpa.

Thank you. This is enough for me.

Give the rest to the kids. They are always hungry and crying.

Only if we weren't so poor! Huh?

- That idiot! - She's running, that fool!

You, idiot, that's mud! Mud!

Spit it out! Yuck!

Spit it out! Yuck!

- It's mud! - It's not a real rice cake!

- Spit it out! Now! - Spit!

The idiot thought that it was a real rice cake!

What a fool!

Oh, it's my big brother!

Yeong-lan!

- You're finally here. - How have you been?

Father's been waiting for you. Go on in.

Oh, you're here.

Father!

Father!

What's happened to you?

Oh, my son's here.

He hasn't had enough to eat. That's what.

We, poor people have to work like slaves to earn a little food.

It's a miracle he's even alive to this day.

Where is mother?

She went to the next village to borrow rice.

There isn't a house in this village that has any.

How can we get rice without rice paddies?

When I die, sell everything and leave this wretched valley.

This is no place for a man to make a living.

Wherever you go, take good care of mother.

She is not your birth mother but she raised you like her own.

Yes, father.

Find a good husband for Yeong-lan.

I wish I didn't have to burden you when you are not well yourself.

Don’t worry, father. I'm here now.

Please get your strength back.

- I'm glad you are here! - Mother!

Sit down.

It must've been tough for you.

I'm okay. How have you been doing?

Mother, the rice?

Honey.

Yes.

Did you get the rice?

Yes.

Yong's come home. So go and make dinner.

Sure.

He must be starving after the long travel. Go on.

Honey, I have bad news!

- What? - Yong is back in the village.

Just when we forgot about him, he's back again!

He must be back because Mr. Cha is on his deathbed.

This could ruin our daughter's marriage talks.

Make sure she doesn't see him. Keep her inside the house.

I'll try. But where is she?

Yong, you are back!

Are you badly hurt?

Yes.

As you can see, everything has changed.

I heard your mother is looking for rice, so I brought some.

Jeong-hui.

Please forget the childish promises that we made to each other.

What are you saying?

Yong!

Yong! Father...

Father, where are you going?

I'm going to a funeral in the next village.

Yong's father has passed away.

I should go so that I don't lose votes.

Even cripples have voting rights these days.

You are not to see Yong again.

I don't want people talking. So behave yourself!

Why are you crying, sir?

Is it because you're hungry?

Don't cry. It'll wear you out.

I'm not crying. Why would I cry?

Go away now.

Father, I'm not going to cry.

Don't lose heart.

It was fortunate for him that he died this early.

So what are you going to do now?

I'll follow his footsteps.

I'm going to wrestle the land and win in the end.

Forget such thoughts and go back to Seoul.

They say wounded veterans have it good these days.

You go around with your head up and nobody looks down on you.

Don't worry about your mother.

Just send her some money whenever you can.

I'll take care of the farming work.

Once you get a whiff of the big city, you can't live in the mountains.

I'm going to try.

I'll give it my everything.

If only we could move the water from the river to that brittle land.

We could get acres and acres of rice paddies.

The Japanese tried to dig holes under the mountain

to move the water just last year.

It works in theory.

This river is much higher so if we dig a long tunnel,

the water will pour onto the dry land like a waterfall.

If you go the big government offices,

they will still have the documents from before.

That's what I've been thinking about looking at the river.

But it's just a pie in the sky.

Sir, it's not just some dream.

Those people tried to do it. So why can't we?

This is a great plan.

I think there is a good chance that it'll succeed.

If you have sound financial backup you'll make it for sure.

How much will the whole construction cost?

At least 30 million hwan.

30 million hwan?

Your village should do what you can.

Once you start this great project, the government will help with funds.

Thank you, sir.

I will do all I can to help.

All right.

If you need any technical assistance, come anytime.

Yes, I will see you again.

I am going to revive this wasteland.

But it's going to be extremely hard work.

We can do it if all the village people work together.

I'm going to make rice paddies out of the land

in honor of my father who died with his eye open.

He had never once eaten rice to his fill in his life.

You need money to do anything these days.

This will get you started.

Here.

It' the deeds to Saem-gol.

But promise me right here and now

that you will not give up halfway, no matter how tough things get.

Mother... Thank you.

It's going to be hard. But I know Yong can do it.

Yes.

Yes.

Your mother is some woman.

She sure is.

When I was coming back from the government office,

I was worried about what mother would say.

If she had said no, I couldn't really insist.

People would say because she's a stepmother.

You've done a lot of thinking yourself.

I feel powerful like I have 100 men on my side.

Good, then I'll be your 101st comrade.

You're going to help me, too?

I know you want me to! What are you talking about?

I was right about you.

Thank you.

I knew you'd be by my side to support me.

Actually, you have to convince the older folks first.

I know the young ones will join me.

Yes, I'll leave that with you.

Then I'm going down to the site.

Hello, ma'am.

Hello.

His injury must have been bad.

But he's as stubborn as ever.

Yeong-lan's mother! Are you there?

Where is she?

- Oh, my big brother... - I need to talk you.

What brings you here?

Have you gone insane?

You listened to that lunatic and gave him the land deeds to dig holes?

- Yes, I did. - What?

You answer like it's not a big deal.

You fool!

You're selling good land to do something that may not even succeed.

Hasn't age taught you anything?

I have my own thoughts about this.

So please don't talk to me that way.

Your own thoughts?

Your thoughts will be the end of you.

You could have said no and he would have just left.

Don't you think you need to be about caring yourself?

Listen to yourself.

He lost his leg and was angry at the world.

Regardless of whether he may succeed or not,

don’t you think it's great that he's find the courage to do something?

I don't care about the measly plot of land.

You are right. If I had said no, Yong would have left.

But he would have been angry at me all his life.

The stepmother who never gave him a chance.

Worse, how do you think his life will turn out?

But still, how could you let him sell the land?

What are you going to live on?

It will all work out.

He's always been a stubborn one.

Please look around and look at the map here.

The water is higher than the wasteland on the other side.

The distance between the land and the water is about 200 meters

which is about 670 'ja'.

So if we work hard and we dig even just half a 'ja' everyday,

five years is all it's going to take at most.

In five years, all those new rice paddies will be ours.

All ours to harvest year after year.

We will never have to worry about floods or droughts.

It will be ours to pass on for generations.

That may be so. But even the Japanese gave up digging the tunnel.

What makes you think we can do this?

Sir, you are wrong.

The Japanese failed, but we can do it.

Isn't this our land after all?

That's true. Geon-bae is absolutely right.

We can do better than the Japanese.

What's to stop us?

It'd be great if it works.

Listen to me.

Have you all lost your minds?

This mountain is home to the mountain god.

And you are going to blow it up and dig holes in it?

Do you want to see our village ruined?

Surely...

No! Never! Not ever!

Do you know what chased away the Japanese?

They were making a fuss, surveying the mountains to dig holes.

That's what brought them down.

What nonsense!

Are you saying the mountain god beat the Japanese?

That's silly talk!

It's the atom bomb that wiped out the Japanese.

What did you say to me?

Stop pointing your paw at me!

What? A paw?

You, you reckless fool!

You have no respect for the mountain god.

No wonder you're over 30 and still without a wife!

Oh, so westerners who don't worship the mountain god can never get married!

What did you say, you fool?

What's the world coming to?

- What's so funny? - Ma'am, please calm down.

- Gap-deuk! - What's so funny, huh?

What the heck...

Yong, if you don’t heed my words, you will ruin our village and yourself.

Everyone will starve to death.

Ma'am, we won't starve if we have rice.

The shrine won't give us rice. We get rice from land.

Hey, you don't know what you're saying!

This lady here gets her rice from the shrine.

- You little rat! - Why are you hitting me?

Ma'am! Ma'am!

And you, Gap-deuk!

Just keep quiet.

I didn't say anything wrong!

Why do you keep slapping my face?

What the heck!

You idiots, go ahead!

Gap-deuk! This isn't how we do things.

She'll also be one of the elders of our village someday.

Even if she's wrong, you have to convince her with respectful words.

I've tried to be patient. I have!

Bring the fourth one over here.

The second one to the right.

They've all gone mad.

As if it makes any sense.

He's always had weird ideas in his head since he was a boy.

I bet he's trying to be smart.

He's trying to get government funds for reclamation projects.

His trick won't work.

He's a pretty skillful fraud.

Indeed.

A main who dreams of digging up a fortune!

It sounds like a title for a motion picture!

Honey, I need to talk to you.

- Please, right now. - What's the matter?

- Jeong-hui's gone to the next village. - What? That daughter of ours...

Let's go over there. I need you over there.

Yong.

I had to see you.

Don't you think we have things to work out between us?

I thought I made myself clear before.

That's it? You think that's the end of us?

It has to be.

You always do whatever you want.

Do you think I'm some beast without emotions?

I waited when you told me to wait for you.

And now you tell me to forget, so I just forget about everything?

Stop lying about your feelings.

You told me to wait then and now you tell me to forget.

But I know your feelings for me haven't changed.

Jeong-hui, five years is a long time.

You know they say even the hills and rivers change in ten years.

I am truly sorry that you gave up those valuable years for me.

Please forgive me.

And please spend the rest of your life being happy.

Those are not the words I came to hear.

They are the only words I have for you.

Why are you torturing yourself like this?

You lost one leg, but even if you had lost both your legs,

I would have waited for you, Yong.

Jeong-hui, the only time I forget that I'm a cripple is

when I'm working like this.

When I stand in front of you, I keep seeing myself and I become weak .

I don't want to, but I can't help it.

Jeong-hui!

Jeong-hui, get yourself home right this moment!

Hurry up! Why you...

Yong, I want a word with you.

Are you planning to ruin our family?

Jeong-hui is out of your league. She has a suitor from prominent family.

What business do you have with her?

This is also important to my political career.

Listen, a man should know his place.

Do you think I'll even consider a cripple for my son-in-law?

I couldn't agree more. I don't want her around here.

So please make sure she doesn't come here again.

Yong.

Listen.

Couldn't you just leave this village?

If you do, I, Song Tae-ho will buy you back the land you sold

and also give you some extra coins for the road.

Thank you but I can't leave.

This project is my life now.

You should leave when I ask nicely.

Whether you ask me nicely or threaten me,

my answer is the same.

Well, I'll just have to make you leave then.

Cha-dol! Chil-bok! Come over to my house later.

I need to talk.

Come inside right now, you wench! Go inside the room.

- No! - What?

I'm old enough to take care of myself. So please leave me alone.

Has she gone mad?

I don't want my life sacrificed for your political career.

What? Why? I ought to just kill you!

I even sent you to girls' school and this is what I get?

You've never cared about my feelings!

You show me off like some prize.

When the Kims are in power, you run to them. When the Lees are in power...

What did you say?

She's gone completely mad!

- I wish I was mad! - Watch what you say!

- Die, you wench! - Honey, please calm down.

Calm down? I can't let her be!

We don't know what she might do so don't let her out of the house.

Have you lost your mind?

You are getting married soon.

Yet you run around where the village people can see you!

You are not taking another step outside the gates.

You know how your father is.

Why do care for that cripple who has only one leg?

He doesn't have a decent house or any land to plow.

All he has is wooden stump for a leg.

Stop it! Stop teasing me!

Stop it!

Don't! Stop it right now!

I hate you!

Give it to me. What is it?

- Give it to me. - Want to see it?

- Yes. - Okay.

I changed my mind.

I want it right now.

Give it to me. Come on.

Oh! It's a roly-poly!

Is this all you got for me from your school trip?

The roly-poly on the desk, how funny you look?

Your round belly is...

Isn't he a really something?

You know the saying 'little strokes fell great oaks.'

But this guy never falls, he just keeps getting back up again.

He's a stubborn one just like you.

Yes, that's why I like him.

I want you to keep this.

Put it on your desk and think of me when you see it.

Hmm!

Gap-deuk, Why isn't Cha-dol here today?

He's got no loyalty, that one.

He said he can't feed himself three meals a day,

and can't afford to wait any longer until the tunnel get finished.

He took his wooden carrier and went to Muju town.

Yong, we don't have many men up on the other site either.

I think Mr. Song is behind all this.

All the men that are absent today owe money to Mr. Song.

So you need go to the government office

and get some support funds and rice.

We can do nothing about the people who have gone,

but we should at least feed the people who are still here.

I don't care if it takes ten days or a whole month.

I'll be back with a sure answer this time.

Sir...

I've been coming here every day for the past ten days.

I need you to make a decision now.

If you say refuse him flatly,

he might vote for the opposition party in the coming election.

So give him an ambiguous answer and send him back.

Sir?

The timing is sensitive.

We have the election coming up so we don't want people getting upset.

Tell him we'll see after the election.

Yes, sir.

Wait.

Make you let him know we are neutral

but subtly pressure him to support the ruling party.

All right, sir.

So we must hold out until the election is over.

We are now in a battle against the land.

When it’s men against the land, men always win.

- We'll get the funds for sure. - Alrigh, good job.

Let's just keep going and hold out until then.

All right.

Let's get back to work.

Please, this way

Yes, let's go in.

How do you like our country village?

- Yes, it's very nice. - It is, isn't?

Honey!

- Yes. - Honey!

Get the chicken cooked and send Jeong-hui over here.

All right.

- You must be tired. - No, not at all.

- Did you call for me? - Yes, take a seat.

Look at you! You are not properly dressed to receive guests.

It's all right. It's not like I'm a special guest.

Of course you are.

A son-in-law is always a special guest.

You are too kind.

Say hello, dear.

This young man's father was elected a member of the county council.

Nice to meet you. I'm Cho Il-bong.

To tell you a little about Mr. Cho,

he works for the National Government in Seoul.

He is here to help his father in the provincial election

and also to see you in person.

He is also going to help your father in the election.

Whatever the case,

in the past, couples never used to

meet each other before the wedding.

But the gifts will come in a few days and we live in an age of democracy now.

I'm glad I decided to stop by.

She seems to be everything I wished for.

If I may ask, what is your hobby?

All I know is the sky and the land.

I see. You speak very poetically.

I quite like poems myself.

The poets I admire are...

Shakespeare and Einstein of Alexander...

That is great.

I also have an interest in cameras and photography.

Good for you.

I've been deprived of poetry and locked at home.

She's been told to stay indoors because she is quite frail.

You can ask me about medicine too.

Is there anything ailing you?

Please excuse me.

Jeong-hui! My dear!

She's very interesting.

- Indeed we live in an age of democracy. - I liked her very much.

How dare you behave like that in front of your future husband?

I was told you acted like a crazy girl!

If you keep up with this,

father said he'll get rid of Yong for good.

You know he can do such things

without lifting a finger, right?

You know very well!

You just do as I tell you.

Please don't worry.

- I wouldn't dare do otherwise. - Good.

Hey, eat slowly and drink some water, too.

Mom, isn't this rice?

Yes. Chew carefully.

- It's delicious. - Of course, it is.

I want rice everyday.

You, silly girl.

We get to eat rice once in a while thanks to the mountain god.

You think you're a minister's daughter to eat rice every day?

Does a minister's daughter have rice every day?

- Go on and eat. - All right.

What did I tell you from the first place?

You think you can get away with disturbing the sacred home of the mountain god?

Yeah, you are right.

They shouldn't have started it. Now it's brought bad luck on the people.

I know.

He should be strong as a tiger at his age not passing out and lying on.

So don't let him go there again.

No, I won't let him. I'll listen to you from now.

It must be true. The mountain god must be mad.

I heard another man collapsed.

Yes.

The work is hard but they are not getting enough nutrition.

- Mother. - Yes.

You must be hungry. Go on and eat.

The people are starting to talk and to make things worse,

Gap-sun's mother is agitating the people with gossip.

She's saying the men are sick because they angered the mountain god.

So you should go to town again instead of just waiting for their notice.

A child who cries gets more cookies, so you must keep demanding.

All right.

Tomorrow I was about to go to the provincial government office.

Here.

- Hey, Muju lady. - Yes?

I borrowed some food to hold a rite for the mountain god.

So you all come to the shrine tomorrow.

- All right. - Make sure you come.

Hey, Pretty Face. Don't you believe my words?

This is all because we've angered the mountain god.

Do as I say and forget about the tunnels.

Or our whole village will be doomed. Completely!

It looks like our village will be ruined.

I'm going to hold a rite for the mountain god if it's the last thing I ever do.

So come to the shrine tomorrow.

If you don't, we will be punished. So make you bring your wits with you.

Did you hear me? You must come.

It's already 11 o'clock.

Is Jeong-hui getting ready?

Honey.

The wedding gifts will arrive soon. Is the food ready?

Yes, it is.

Hello, Jeong-hui.

- How have you been? - How did you manage to get out?

Where is your brother?

He went to the government office to get the funds.

Good. Wait at for him at the ferry and make sure he doesn't come this way.

They're up to something at the shrine today.

I'll go to the shrine now so you go on ahead.

All right. Off you go.

So how did it go?

Things are looking difficult.

Let's go inside first.

Take a seat.

Thank you.

The provincial office had it all approved with proper documents and all.

But the budget got cut at the central government.

- What? - Well, government work can be like that...

But why? Why was the budget cut?

Let me explain.

The opposition party got elected in your village.

What?

In other words, your village is opposition party grounds.

It's not just your village

but it's the same, everywhere in the province.

All the other projects have had their budgets cut, too.

That doesn't make any sense!

I think it's very unfortunate.

But politics is like that sometimes.

You call that politics?

That kind of rotten politics! Who the heck is it for?

There is no point in getting upset...

I don't want to hear it!

What does opposition party have to do with politics?

The land I'm trying to develop is Korean land, isn't it?

And the politicians are Korean people!

They're not foreigners, are they?

Yelling at me is not going to change anything.

We are at the bottom of the ladder. We just follow orders from the top.

Anyway, we'll keep thinking about ways we can help.

So you should just go back today.

You men who live on food scorched by fire!

Now you are starting a fire under the cornerstones of my house?

What terrible things you get up to!

If you don't stop it right now, even greater misfortunes will fall upon you!

You must not believe her false words.

The people are sick because of malnutrition.

Not because of the mountain god.

What a devilish girl! How dare you!

You are hungry and poor.

Didn't you decide to start this difficult project

because you are sick of being poor?

To escape poverty, you have to endure against the hardships.

Right, right.

You devilish girl! I order you to go away!

I will tell your father and you'll be in big trouble!

Doing these rites won't make your sickness go away.

What you need is food to keep you healthy.

And that rice will only come to us when we work with all our might.

The day our tunnels change the wasteland into fertile land!

That's when we will be able to free ourselves from poverty and ill health.

Everyone, Jeong-hui is right.

I collapsed as well. But here I am standing again.

The men who were ill-collapsed are because of hunger.

That's why Yong is at the government office, to stop us going hungry.

You, idiots. You think things will go as you want?

Yes. I know it will.

Everyone, we must have faith in Yong.

Hey, Geon-bae!

What will you do if Yong comes back empty-handed?

Will you stop the project without any more fuss?

You must stop right away.

Yong.

Yong, you must hide.

Don't go into the village.

Jeong-hui told us that something bad is going to happen.

He's a just a fraud.

We should have received the government funds by now.

I bet he got it and kept it for himself.

Yes, you are right.

He said the money was coming right from the start.

The funds would have come through by now.

He'd better not come back empty-handed.

I will break his leg.

Don't you people trust Yong?

What?

I will believe when he comes back with the money, so just watch the ritual.

If Mr. Song find about this, there'll be hell. So stop it.

We shouldn't just sit here and wait.

Let's go to the ferry and see Yong to end this arguement.

- Yes, let's do that! - Let's go.

All the more reason why I should go then.

I'm not going to be coward.

Yong!

I started this so I should take responsibility.

- But... - Don't worry.

There he is! Let's go.

Yong, did you get it?

Just tell them it worked out even if it didn't.

I'm sorry.

What did you come back for if you didn't get it?

Listen to me... We... will get the rice...

and the money, so please rest assured.

- Give it to us now! - Give it!

We have to wait just a little longer.

How much longer? Huh?

Everyone, we have to wait more for the money and the rice.

I told you!

What did I tell you?

Don't you know what the mountain god is like!

Please don't listen to her!

She has been bribed by my father.

What the heck are you saying?

- You've tricked us all! - We want the money and the rice!

Dear friends...

It's all my fault. I am weak and...

Go and hide.

- Please! - Kill him!

Oh, goodness!

- They're going to kill him! - Help him!

Please stop! No, not his other leg!

Don't do this! Stop!

Not his other leg! We are all friends here!

I think you are more foolish than the people who beat you up.

You had to put up with people calling you crazy for this.

I know that what you are doing

is the only way to save the people of our village.

But I can't understand anymore

what is it that you are suffering like this for.

Forget about everything and run away with me.

I can't go back home anymore.

I left my house determined to run away for good.

Yong, let me help you.

I will be the warmth in your beaten heart.

Please go away with me. You need me.

Just like my life has no meaning without you,

you need me by your side.

Hold me like you used to, Yong.

The passion that you had for the digging the tunnels,

pour them onto us and for our happiness.

I know that we can be happy. I really believe it.

I'm grateful.

Let's go. It doesn't matter where.

Yong!

- Jeong-hui! - Oh, my goodness...

Jeong-hui! My dear!

When we find her, don't be too harsh on her.

You lost her on a day like this and you dare tell me what to do?

They're looking for me.

Sleep at the charcoal burner's shed tonight and meet me tomorrow morning.

Catch the bus heading for Daejeon. I'll wait at the Chubu Tunnel.

I'll catch the same bus.

You must be there.

I'll see you there then.

Jeong-hui!

Chubu Tunnel

- Jeong-hui! - Oh!

- We need to talk. - What's going on?

- Yong is not coming. - What?

Dear Jeong-hui, I've thought about it all night.

I'm still not sure if I can make you happy.

I've realized once again

that this is the only place for me.

Only when I dig those tunnels, the people will know that I am right.

Jeong-hui.

Please forget about this foolish man and find new happiness.

A fool! Your brother is a fool!

Jeong-hui, let's go home now.

You go on!

Take good care of Yong.

Jeong-hui!

Please get on. We're leaving.

Jeong-hui!

Departing!

Hello, ma'am. How are you?

Oh, hello.

Any news from Seoul?

It's already been two week but nothing.

A new government has come in power since the April 19th Revolution.

Things are completely different now.

He's late because he is bringing good news.

- So please stop worrying. - All right.

You've started a great project here.

But this is about developing agricultural land.

So you should speak to the Ministry of Agriculture.

We haven't dealt with such cases at our Ministry.

I see. Sorry to trouble you.

This work seems very constructive and patriotic.

But they handle this kind of work at the Ministry of Economic Revival.

It is a sort of economic revival project.

You should go there.

This is great idea.

The first stage plan of our Ministry has already taken off.

So there is nothing we can do now.

You should go to Social Assistance at the Ministry of Health and Society.

Oh, I see.

We don't assist that kind of work here.

I heard that Christian charity groups

offer support for such projects...

Perhaps you should go there.

This is a commendable project.

Shouldn't the government be helping you?

We would like to help but our projects for this year

have already have been decided and we have no more budget left.

We can perhaps give you a sack of flour.

- Are you not feeling well? - I'm all right.

I know she's your friend but she's been here for three months.

And we just got married.

Doesn't she know she is overstaying her welcome?

Not much longer now.

I wrote to her family in secret.

They'll be coming to get her soon.

- Well, they'd better be. - You'll home early, right?

- I will but we can't have any fun. - Oh, you!

That roly-poly again?

Why do you look at it all the time?

Do you want to know?

Shall I tell you?

You told me not to ask anything so I didn't.

But I'm worried about you. So tell me.

This roly-poly reminds me of a man from our village.

A man?

He tried to dig tunnels in the mountains with his bare hands.

Tunnels?

Wow! That would make a great article.

When my husband comes back, I'll talk to him.

Who knows if someone might read about it and want to help?

Geez! Why hadn't I thought of that myself?

- It's because you're a fool. - Oh, cut it out.

Is that you, Yeong-lan?

Oh, goodness! Mun-ja?

- It's been so long. - How have you been?

- Good. - You look so different now.

I look like a bar girl, huh?

No.

What can a girl from a poor family do to live a good life like others?

I get sick of the drunk men hassling me.

But the money is not too bad.

Do you make a lot of money?

Sure. I make enough to send some home every month.

Really?

Your face tells me things are tough.

Are things that hard for you?

I heard your family is ruined because of your brother.

But he's doing the right thing.

Hey, have a drink.

Fool...

You need to show them your stump to get anything in this world.

There is nothing you can do with your bare fists.

All the government offices are corrupt.

You think your begging is going to work?

Hey, listen.

You think I'm asking them to help me?

Digging the tunnels and making fertile land

is going help our country.

But that's not how they see it.

They have corrupt minds so they assume that you are too.

All politicians don't even deserve to be buried alive.

They don't care about our country.

All they do is fight among themselves for government seats.

So nothing ever gets done.

They need to do the right thing for the people to follow.

So what do I do now?

I can't go back with nothing.

Stop being so proud and move your whole family here.

Oh, you're back!

You must be tired from the trip.

You should have sent news...

You must be hungry and tired from all the travelling.

Go inside and rest.

So, did it go well?

Mother, it's all over.

I'm giving up.

I'm here to take you to Seoul with me.

Let's leave this place tomorrow.

I'm not going anywhere.

You do what you can with this.

Don't worry about me. You go by yourself.

Mother, here is 50,000 won. Please don't be angry but I'm leaving.

Use this money for Yong.

This is the only way I can help my brother.

Tell him that I've gone to work as a maid.

He'll go mad if he finds out that I'm working at a bar.

What?

I'll keep myself chaste no matter what

and return the moment I hear that the tunnels are finished.

Yeong-lan!

Yeong-lan!

My dear sister!

I'm sorry!

I've done you wrong!

Mother, please forgive me! I'm so sorry!

I'll die in the tunnels with a pick and a shovel in my hands.

So please forgive this foolish son of yours!

If I can't finish it in my time, perhaps the next generation will.

Even if I have to dig on my own, I'll do it.

Mother, please forgive me!

Please tell me that you forgive me!

Mother...

- Yong! - Yong!

- Yong! - Yong!

You must have been through so much.

I came back empty-handed.

I'm so sorry.

- Yong! - Yong!

How did things go in Seoul?

Please tell us.

Tell us what happened.

Come on. Tell us.

I realized the only way we can save ourselves is

to do things with our own hands.

We only have our bare hands

and our youthful energy to rely on.

Yong.

You are right.

The men who have gathered here are small in number

but we are determined to dig the tunnels even if it's the last thing we do.

So Let us think of ways to overcome the obstacles.

Yeah, let's think of what we can do to work on the tunnels

and feed ourselves.

Any ideas?

I would like to make a suggestion.

Instead of all the men working on the tunnel at the same time,

even if we don't work as fast, we should divide into two teams.

One team can work on the tunnels.

And the other team can go to town and work to get food.

- All right. - Good idea.

Let me say something, too.

To have as many men working on the tunnels as possible,

how about if we only send a third of the men into town

and ask the women to help us.

- They can sell things in the market. - Great idea.

Hands up who agree.

Everyone agrees.

It's chewy and delicious.

Acorn jelly! It's chewy and delicious!

- How much is this? - It's 70 hwan.

I'll have one.

Aren't they communists then?

Red commies, they are!

Sir?

They share their earnings equally.

I'm sure they're not...

How can you be so sure?

Well, I can't be sure...

Let's see how long they keep this up.

Look. Here we go.

Oh, my belly! My belly!

My guts are in knots.

Let go here.

Oh, my belly! My belly is killing me!

Let go here. Let go.

Let me be. At the market today,

I smelled some fish and now my belly is crying out for it.

Oh, my belly! Just let me be.

Just let me be.

Just let me be.

I just need to rest and I'll get better on my own.

- We'll get going then. - You go on ahead.

- We'll see you soon. - Sure, go now.

- We're going now. - Go, go.

Go now. Oh, my belly. Bye.

- Is your belly any better? - Oh, my belly!

It's not better yet. Not better.

Please rub my belly for me. Right here.

Huh? I'm not your wife.

Oh, my belly! My guts are knotting up.

You think I'll fall for that trick?

None of the men from your village has any sense.

What?

It's no wonder you get up to that crazy business.

Crazy? Do you mean that?

You don't mean that, do you?

Don't get mad at me. I'm just worried about you.

Look here. What are you worried about?

Look here.

When we finish the tunnels and we get rice from the fields.

I'll marry you and we'll have sons and daughters, chickens and cows...

In the summer,

we'll have cucumber kimchi

and in the winter, we'll have cabbage kimchi.

If you get sick of those, then we'll have...

Stop dreaming and come back to earth.

Rumors of being Communists are going around.

What? Me, a Communist?

- I didn't mean you. - Then who?

Who else but that Yong.

Yong, a Communist? Don't be absurd.

It's no joke.

My family is calling off the engagement.

They don't want their daughter marrying a Communist.

What? Since when are you engaged to Yong?

Aren't you listening to a word I'm saying?

I'm listening. That's what your words say.

I'm saying that my family thinks you're a Communist, too.

But before you said that you don't think I am.

You are all a team, that's why.

I trust you but my family doesn't.

Who's the bastard that is setting us up like that?

I should kill the bastard!

So you don't care if I marry someone else?

Who says I don't?

If you do, then stop working with them.

You want me to betray my buddies?

So you don't care if I just marry someone else then?

When did I say that?

You might as well. You won't stop working with them.

I can't. I could never do that.

Fine, you care more about them than you do for me.

Geez, how small minded you are!

I've heard enough. I know it now.

Look here. In a men's world,

loyalty is more important than life and death.

My love for you is a kind of loyalty, too.

Once you make a promise, you keep it even if you die for it.

Once you give your heart, it is forever.

Let me show you. This is my One Heart One Loyalty.

Don't you see this? Look here. Right here.

Where did she go?

Eun-sun!

I won’t see you again if you keep working with them.

I mean it.

Fine, then. You do what you want.

We'll see. Fine, you little wench.

So what will it be?

If you keep working with those Communists,

I'm going to take my poor daughter home.

You've put her through enough trouble as it is.

And what now?

You want to send her off to the markets with a basket on her head?

- Mother, you are frightening the baby. - Be quiet!

Please keep your voice down.

He's doing it all to make a better life for us.

You don't know his intentions so please don't scold him.

What? How can I not get mad?

I've married you off to your husband.

But as long I'm alive,

I won't have you peddling things at a market.

- Yong's a Communist. - Says who?

The whole village is talking about it.

Nobody is going to marry off their daughter to those men.

Geez! What nonsense!

It's not true. Why don't you just wait and see?

So you're going to keep on staying here?

Her husband went to the village to do an article on them.

I'll decide after I listen to what he has to say.

Huh? Who went to our village?

My husband did.

- What for? - To meet the roly-poly.

Exactly 78 meters.

78 meters?

The 52 meters from the other side, so 130 meters all together.

That's about 370 ja. We're only two thirds of the way.

Geez, I swear the rocks are getting harder.

It's because we're getting worn down.

We need to eat well to keep our strengths.

- Yes, let's take a break. - Excuse me.

Excuse me. Which one of you is Mr. Cha Yong?

- That's me. - Oh, I see.

Your village is really deep in the mountains.

I'm reporter Kim from Hanseong Newspaper.

Hanseong Newspaper?

Ms. Song Jeong-hui told me about you and your work.

Jeong-hui?

Yes, she's staying with us right now.

We'll talk more about it later.

First, let's take a picture.

Rice! Rice! Rice!

We Want Rice!

Why are you crying reading the papers?

Is there an article about some tragic love?

Love? Is that all you care about?

What's better than love?

Hey, isn't this your brother?

Honey, you went all the way to Seoul

to get Jeong-hui, spending good money.

And you came back with nothing but some newspaper?

She said that you'll change your mind after you read this.

And that she'll come home later when you do.

I can't put a collar around her neck and drag her like a dog.

What can I do?

Aha! A lot of people will come forward offering to help.

I should get in before the other do...

Yong, we've been inconsiderate.

We want to apologize to you.

I can only guess

what you must have gone through.

You don't need to worry now.

The way things are going

this is not your problem alone,

but the whole village should take care of.

I, Song Tae-ho, will not look the other way.

Of course.

Yong, with Mr. Song's support,

it’s like the tunnels are already finished.

Thank you.

It's like a dream come true.

To think that we'll be able to get rice from the wasteland...

What are you crying for?

Hey, pour another drink.

Please have this drink.

Here. Go on.

Hello...

Oh, my goodness! Look who it is!

How have you been, ma'am?

- I thought you were in Seoul. - I was.

Things must have hard for you.

It's all right. I'm not the only one.

- Let's go inside. - Thank you.

Where is Yeong-lan by the way?

- She... - It's fine as it is.

Did she go to the market?

Well...

She is in Daejeon.

Daejeon?

She went to work at a bar to earn money for her brother.

Oh?

Once we finish the tunnels, we'll live together here again.

It's a humble house but come inside.

Mother!

Mother!

- Yong! - Here you are!

I knew you were back.

- You father told me. - My father?

Mother, Jeong-hui's father is going to support our work from now on.

Is that so?

And he treated me to food and a few drinks.

I hope that's all right, mother.

Please don't get mad at me.

That's all right.

Mother. My dear mother.

You don't have to work so hard anymore.

Life is going to be different from now.

Whatever the case, it's good to see you smile again.

That makes me happy more than anything else.

Yeong-lan will be able to come home soon.

Mother, please grill this.

- And get us some rice wine. - Sure, sure.

Mother, I have money now.

I should share the wine

with the buddies who have stuck by me.

Yong.

How rude of me! Sorry, I was just so happy.

Let's go inside and talk.

I heard the gist of things from reporter Kim.

Let's go in.

Are you so happy that my father is going to help you?

Of course, I am.

Aren't you happy?

Have you thought about what this might do in the end?

I'm ashamed to say this about my own father.

But he will do anything for money.

Don't you care that he might take all that land in the end?

I bet your sister didn't go to work at the bar

so that my father could have the land.

I know it makes me bad daughter

to say this about my parents.

But I have no choice, for the sake of the village.

Yong, I know it will be difficult but don't compromise now.

You can only escape poverty, if you dig the tunnels by yourselves.

Jeong-hui.

I should have thought about it more.

I can see that I was wrong.

I almost lost what we've worked so hard for.

Thank you.

Jeong-hui!

Jeong-hui, you little wench!

Are you in your room?

Why, you...

You little wench!

The tiger should eat you!

You should be grateful that I forgave you for running away.

Instead you get in the way of your own father?

You ungrateful wench!

Before you yell at me like that,

you should think about the feelings of your daughter

who has no choice but to oppose her own father.

You reckless little thing!

Fine! Tell me!

What's wrong with trying to help

the patheric and starving people of the village?

Where's the wrong in that?

That proves you're a hypocrite.

A hypocrite?

You're trying stealing what they've worked for

with their blood and sweat.

You sound like a damned Communist!

Now you're even calling me a Communist!

Get out, you miserable wench!

You are not my daughter anymore! Get out!

- Get out of my house! - Fine, I will!

- But father... - Enough! I'm not your father!

Quiet! I'm not your father anymore!

No daughter treats her father this way!

I don't want to see you again! I'm not your father.

So get out!

- I don't want you before me again! - Fine, I'll go.

I'll never set foot in this house again.

Who's there?

Jeong-hui, what are you doing here?

My father kicked me out.

I'm going to stay here and watch over you as you work.

I'm afraid if I go to Seoul now, I might do something I regret.

Please keep me here with you, Yong.

I don't care what the people say about me.

They can call me a whore.

Please just let me stay by your side.

Jeong-hui!

Come to my arms.

Jeong-hui.

We'll fight on together. Please give me strength.

Jeong-hui.

How much longer is it going to rain like this?

It'll be the death of us.

It's pouring like crazy.

Damn it!

It's been raining for two weeks and the barley isn't even ripe yet.

All the barley will rot!

We're all going to starve to death.

Gap-sun' mother...

We're all sick from eating moldy barley.

What are you picking through that for?

We still have to eat something.

Sir.

Hello, Gap-sun.

Aren't you hungry?

Why do you keep digging when you must be hungry?

Aren't you worn out?

These tunnels will give us rice.

Rice?

Gap-sun.

- Do you want to eat rice? - Yes.

That's why I'm digging.

So that all the people from the village can have rice to eat.

Rice?

That's right.

It's delicious, mother.

Of course, it is.

Chew carefully.

If I work, will you give me rice, too?

Not you.

Why not?

Children can get hurt. Go home.

Your mother must be waiting for you. So go.

Go now.

Things couldn't be worse. Such a bad harvest!

I boiled the rotten barley and ate it.

It gave me the runs for three days. Geez, my belly!

He's stubborn as a mule.

But now is not the time to be stubborn.

We have no food. We can't afford to be picky.

I know!

Mr. Song said he would pay 2,000 hwan a day to work at his mine.

Really?

- What do you say? - I couldn't agree with you more.

He could give half the land when we're finished.

Then things wouldn't be so bad like this.

I'm with you.

Yong.

I can't help thinking that you made a wrong choice.

It'll work out much more easily, if we give him half the land.

Why make things so hard?

Hey.

You shouldn't be so weak.

I know that the men are complaining.

But in the end, justice will find us all.

We're still young, aren't we?

Things are hard but if we compromise now, that would be a tragedy.

You're such an idealist.

You don't know how to compromise with reality.

Seeing the reality of things and compromising with it are not different.

I see what you are saying.

What can we do?

Where has she gone? Honey!

- Honey? - Sir...

Cheol's grandmother came and got her.

Yes. I brought her back.

You expect me to just watch my own child starve?

Mother, what about the poor baby?

Please let me see her so that she can breast feed the baby.

No.

You won't be together anymore so what's the point?

If you don’t give up that digging, you'll never see her again.

Listen.

Why work with that crazy bastard who refuses offers to help?

I'll get you a good job at Mr. Song's mine instead.

What do you say?

You want keep your wife or that digging work?

Think about it carefully.

He's completely mad!

Honey.

I've eaten some food. I have milk to give now.

What are we going to do?

Our baby is going to starve.

Who knows for how long?

All parents love their child.

My mother is being harsh on you,

because she cares about us.

She hates seeing us poor and hungry.

So please don't blame her.

And...

I must stay so that I can at least have meals of steamed barley.

I have to eat so that I can sneak out

to nurse our baby every day.

Honey, I've made up mind.

That work is important to me but I can't starve our own baby.

Let's go home.

I will do as your mother says.

You've made a good choice.

Even Confucius said you need to eat first to think about manners.

Of course. We have no one to turn to but you.

He's determined to do this, so please take good care of him.

Sure.

This isn't much but buy some rice first.

Come to the mines tomorrow.

I'll put you in charge of all the men from the village up the hill.

Thank you.

Don't just sit there. Say thank you.

Thank you, sir.

You are doing the right thing.

So you'll do as I say, right?

To follow my love, my buddy will cry.

And to follow my buddy, my love will cry.

My heart aches.

Why do thorns pave the way for a real man?

I know how hard this is for you.

I know, too.

Why are you crying? I thought you were a real man.

Stop it. Why show affection when we are parting?

- What? - You, wench.

It just gets harder to part, if we get attached.

What?

The day is September 1,

1960.

August 13, according to the lunar calendar.

Every year when this day comes and clouds cover the moon,

remember that I will be out there missing you with tears in my eyes.

Gap-deuk!

Let go of me!

You are leaving me.

You don't understand the heart of real man

whose loyalty means more to him than life and death.

Eun-sun, have a good life.

- Gap-deuk! - Don't stand in my way!

You miserable idiot!

Gap-deuk! Gap-deuk!

- You wench! - Gap-deuk!

Yong!

Yong!

Yong!

All the others have left to work at the mine.

Geon-bae has become the foreman.

Those deceitful bastards!

You should know this about me.

I even gave up love to work here.

There's not much we can do.

How can they change their minds like that?

I don't think they would've wanted to.

They need food so they had to go.

I'm grateful that I still have you.

It feels better than having a million men.

Yong, nothing will take away my loyalty.

The gone are gone. We should get back to work.

Yes, let's work.

We're out of charcoal.

- What? Let's get it then. - Let's go.

He is more stubborn than a mule.

He's still digging the tunnel on his own.

Gap-deuk is still with him though.

Mr. Song's daughter is staying at the charcoal maker's shed.

Here.

I'm worried that your health might fail staying at the shed.

It's all right. I sleep well because I'm happy.

You are a stubborn one.

Not as stubborn as someone I know.

Hey, Gap-deuk.

Don't cut the live trees.

We need to make speed. We can't afford to be picking twigs.

The others are cutting them. So why can't we?

- Hey, Gap-deuk. - I'm cutting it down.

You can't!

Where are they?

I think that's them coming.

Excuse me.

Officer Ahn, what brings you here?

You have to come down to the station with me.

You're coming to.

- Me? - What's the matter, sir?

- Come on! - Yes, I'm coming.

I'm in charge here. Why don’t you talk to me?

- Hurry up! - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Jeong-hui is staying at the charcoal maker's shed and without food.

Leave her alone.

She needs to learn her lesson.

I had Yong arrested

so she'll come home of her own accord.

Hello. I was on my way to see you.

I'm busy right now.

I've here at least ten time.

Why, this is...

I'm not going to ask for anymore.

Just a jugful of rice. I'll take what you give me.

Who would I turn to for help in such difficult times?

There isn't a thing I haven't done that you've asked me to do.

I am aware of that.

And last summer, we even spent the night...

What are you talking about?

If you want free rice, go on and take it.

But don't say such nonsense!

Are you saying I'm making this up?

If you pull that trick on me again, I'll sue you for defamation.

Sue me?

Who do you think they will believe?

You talk like if it really happened.

What?

Go and ask my wife for the rice.

Forget it.

I can live without that rice from you.

We've picked up dry logs to make charcoal.

- But we don’t cut down live trees. - Your lies won't work.

We have a cut live tree in the evidence.

We've investigated this and found many more.

Illegal logging always leaves evidence.

You leave the roots behind.

No, we never...

Officer Kang, you caught the culprit!

We have the evidence. There is nothing you can do.

I'm arresting you on the spot.

Mother.

Mother, this is meat.

Meat is delicious.

Mother.

Are you hungry, mother?

I'll grill this for you.

Wait just a while.

It's really delicious.

Mother.

- Mother. - Yes?

Who's that?

What do you mean?

Is someone in the room?

Oh, goodness! Are you seeing things?

I hear hammering. Who's that?

Mr. Song's daughter is digging the tunnel by herself.

- What? Jeong-hui? - Yes.

People are saying she's gone mad just like Yong.

That damned wench!

It would be been good, if she had gone mad with me like that.

Who are you talking about?

Who else but Eun-sun?

Stop talking crazy and get up.

Stop nagging at me. You're driving me crazy.

Just get me a bowl of cold water to drink.

Mother, this meat. Have some. It's delicious.

I don't want it, you fool!

Mother, is it because you want rice?

Don't cry. I'll find get some rice and cook it for you.

Wait here and don't cry.

Crying will only make you more hungry.

Sis!

Gap-sun.

Is it true that we can get rice from the tunnels?

Who told you that?

Yong.

Did he?

Will you give me some of the rice, if I work on it, too?

- You want to eat rice that badly? - Yes.

My mother is ill and crying because she wants rice.

- Your mother? - Yes.

I'll move the stones.

When we finish digging the tunnels, I want lots of rice!

Sure, you will have the most.

Aren't you tired?

Gap-sun, you should stop now. Stop now.

It's all right.

Oh, no. I want you to stop working now.

It's all right.

Be careful!

Isn't that a person in the river?

Hurry!

Someone fell in the river!

Help!

- Isn't that Gap-sun? - It's Gap-sun.

Gap-sun! Gap-sun!

Gap-sun!

Wake up, Gap-sun!

Gap-sun!

Wake up, Gap-sun!

Wake up!

Please, wake up!

Gap-sun! Gap-sun!

Gap-sun!

You mother is here!

Gap-sun!

You worked so hard for the rice... How could you leave us like this?

How could go without seeing the tunnels finished?

Gap-sun!

You mother is here!

You wanted to eat all the rice with your mother!

How could you leave us like that?

Jeong-hui! Jeong-hui!

Your father has been arrested. He's at the station.

- What? - What are we going to do?

He's always been worried and nervous

since the revolution by the military.

He must pay the price if he has done bad.

I also want him back home safe just like you do.

I'm still his daughter!

We're ruined! What are we going to do?

We're ruined!

Please come in.

We know things have been tough for you. Take a seat.

The past government administration was very corrupt.

Please keep going with your work.

The new government will support you as much it can.

Thank you.

And...

We can't undo what has been done, but we'll arrest Mr. Song.

Sir.

I would be grateful

if you could let him go so that we can all work together.

There was a time when I blamed him for everything,

but right now, we need to unite as one to build a better country.

It would be good if you could let us all work together.

Yong!

You are great man,

just as I've heard.

Officer Choi.

Why, you?

- Yong! - Sang-cheol!

Oh, you!

It's a different world now, but you are still the fool.

What's going on? What are you doing here?

What do you think?

We got rid of the bickering bureaucrats!

Thank you.

Sir!

Even though this man is a fool, there is some sense in what he's saying.

So please listen to his plea.

Fine, you can all go.

But you must swear you will never do something like this again.

Yong!

Yong!

Father has given us his blessings for our marriage.

- So soon? - Yes!

He was regretting his deeds and weeping.

Thank you. Let's hurry up and go.

- I want to see the tunnels. - I'll get going then.

- Bye! - See you soon!

It must be Gap-sun's mother.

- Gap-sun's mother? - Yes.

Is that you, Geon-bae?

Geon-bae.

Please forgive me, Yong. I was wrong!

Yong.

Yong!

Don't say anything. Not another word.

Now is not the time to look back and weep.

We have work to do.

Yong!

You dig from this side.

I'll be working over there.

Thanks, Yong.

Hurry up!

Hurry up! Hurry!

Hurry up! Over here!

Hey, Yong!

Yong!

Hey!

Let's unload the goods.

Stop, stop!

Be careful of the explosives and that's rice in the back.

- I brought explosives. - Great!

Just blow the way through!

Ha! Aren't you the guy with power!

What do you think?

Please careful with those!

Explosion! Keep out of the way!

Thank you.

Let's get this out of here.

What's that sound? That sound!

We're almost there! Let's keep digging!

Hurry up, everyone!

What's that sound?

Hey, listen.

We're close!

We've done it!

We've done it! It's done!

We've done it! It's done!

- Geon-bae! - Yong!

We've done it!

We've done it!

We've done it!

We've done it!

- The tunnel is finished! - The tunnel is finished!

Ma'am, the tunnel is finished!

It's finished! The tunnel is finished!

- The tunnel is finished! - The tunnel is finished!

The tunnel is finished!

Well, here comes the water!

Here comes the water!

Here comes the water!

Water...

Here comes the water!

Let go! Let go!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Gap-sun, Gap-sun! We have water!

You left us without having a full bowl of rice to eat!

Here comes the bride and the groom.

My brother!

Gap-deuk! Gap-deuk!

Gap-deuk, does your belly still hurt?

Gap-deuk, doesn't your belly hurt?

Why would my belly hurt?

It doesn't need to anymore!

Giddy up!

Yong, isn't it your turn next?

Hey, Gap-deuk!
