A true filmic mise en abyme. This film, narrated by North Koreans living in South Korea, bears witness to the imaginary worlds developed by these individuals about the West while they were still living in North Korea and illegally viewing films from abroad. These testimonies richly illustrate the porosity that develops between reality and fiction in the thinking of individuals living under a regime of censorship. A film floating on the edge of the sensory that pushes us to the edge of reality, where fiction is not far away.
