Plot
"The plot of Yoduk Story revolves around an actress in Pyongyang who falls from political grace after her father meets with his South Korean brother, whom he hasn't seen since the 1950-1953 Korean War. North Korean law makes such contacts illegal and allows for entire families to be punished for the offenses of one member. And so the actress is seized in the middle of a rehearsal and shipped off with her father to Yoduk. At the end, she is raped by a guard, becomes pregnant, and hangs herself."
Composer: Cha Kyung-Chan
