Plot
This film is based on real life events surrounding the June Democracy Movement in 1987 that ended the military regime of President Chun Doo-hwan. Student protests began to riot against the government when it was revealed that student activist Park Jong-chul, who participated in pro-democracy demonstrations against the regime, was tortured to death during an interrogation session. The torture session was ordered by Commissioner Park Cheo-won, his job is to eliminate all communist efforts by any means possible. The authorities involved in the torture seek to conceal the death of Park Jong-chul, but a group of people attempt to bring the truth of the incident to light. Prosecutor Choi catalyzes the effort by denying the policemen’s request to have the student's body cremated. The policemen's are aware that cremation of the body would destroy evidence revealing that the college student was tortured and died at the scene. Prosecutor Choi finds this request suspicious and demands that the body undergo an autopsy because it had only been a few hours since he was found died and his family has not gotten a chance to see their son. Even after constant harassment from the policemen and after having an altercation with Commissioner Park Cheo-won, Prosecutor Choi denies all requests. Prosecutor Choi is fired and secretly leaves his paperwork on the incident to reporter Yoon Sang-sam who had been questioning the incident. Reporter Yoon Sang-sam works for a local newspaper. His main goal to expose Commissioner Park Cheo-won’s crimes which are concealed as efforts for the country's well being. Yoon Sang-sam reveals that the true cause of death was by asphyxiation and not by shock as the government claimed. In an effort to save his career, Commissioner Park Cheo-won reveals that Lieutenant Jo Han-kyung and another detective were the culprits. In exchange the two detectives are promised a not guilty verdict but are instead tricked into serving time in prison for the murder of the college student. At the prison, Warder Han Byung-yong is introduced as a messenger who provides information about the murder case to two communist activists. However, he was caught relaying messages to wanted activist before and uses his niece Yeon-hee to deliver his message. Yeon-hee is a college student who is not involved in the democratic revolution but runs a few errands for her uncle in exchange for gifts. One day on an outing with her friend she is caught in the cross fire between college activists and raid policemen. She meets a boy and it sparks the start of a love interest. This love interest was Lee Han-yeol. He was a Yonsei University student activist who was hit in the head by a tear gas canister and dies. These six characters play a vital role in the political change that South Korea undergoes in 1987.
