Other name: 탈주, Talju, Побег

Description:

Set in a military camp near the DMZ of a divided land, Sergeant Kyu Nam harbors a long-held dream of escaping to the South, the land of freedom. His quest for liberty is jeopardized when he is caught stopping a common soldier from deserting. Facing imminent execution for his actions, Kyu Nam's fate takes an unexpected turn when State Security Department Major Hyun Sang recognizes him from childhood. Rather than exposing Kyu Nam's true intentions, Hyun Sang shrewdly paints him as a hero for capturing the deserter, thereby securing his own career advancements and sparing Kyu Nam's life. Yet, Kyu Nam refuses to abandon his quest for a life lived by his own will, not the regime's dictates. He relentlessly plots to cross the heavily guarded border. Major Hyun Sang, having sacrificed his personal dreams to build his current life, becomes increasingly desperate to prevent Kyu Nam's escape, understanding the perilous consequences for them both in this repressive land.
