The film depicts the life of Korean-Chinese people living on the Dooman River. When hearing the news that people have died on the frozen Dooman River, the film compares the keen response of elderly men with the insensitive reaction of the children. Children and Chang-ho meet Jung-jin who comes from North Korea and asks of food. They promise to Jung-jin that they will bring some food, and suggest playing a soccer game. The most interesting scene of the film is that Jung-jin plays a soccer game with kids after the other children from North Korea have left. The innocent intimacy among children not considering ideology and political relationship contrasts with the weight of reality the adult bears. Most of the parents of the Korean-Chinese kids left for Korea to work and people who cross the border are not welcomed in the town where only elderly people and children live. With the barren landscape of the ‘Dooman River’, this film portrays the reality over the friendship between Chang-ho and Jung-jin from North Korea. (LEE Sang-yong)
