Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenSouth Korea, 1979. After the assassination of President Park, a ruthless power struggle erupts. Director Kim Sung-su transforms historical facts into a suspense-based political thriller.
In the winter of 1979 - shortly after the assassination of President Park Chung-hee - Seoul does not escape political chaos. When security commander Chun Doo-gwang (Hwang Jung-min) orchestrates a coup, a direct clash ensues with principled chief officer Lee Tae-shin (Jung Woo-sung), who believes the army should not interfere in politics. Lee's attempt to stop the coup unfolds in a nerve-wracking confrontation between loyalty, power and idealism.
