Before becoming the world’s most notorious dictator, Kim Jong-Il ran North Korea’s ministry for propaganda and all its film studios. Underwhelmed by the pool of talent available to him he took drastic steps, ordering the kidnap of Choi Eun-Hee (Madame Choi), South Korea’s most famous actress and her ex-husband Shin Shang-ok, the country’s most famous filmmaker. But as Madame Choi and Shin Shang-ok begin to make North Korea’s greatest films, they hatch a plan of escape worthy of a blockbuster Hollywood ending.
