Synopsis: 18 year-old North Korean-born Hyuk Kim is tortured in prison for illegal trading to China. He is released on a special amnesty and succeeds in escaping from North to South Korea. Hyuk Kim now lives happily here, being able to eat his favorite boiled eggs as much as he wants at a buffet. But sometimes he is disheartened by the economic crisis or discrimination in South Korea. He does not think he’s a red man, the color symbolizing the North, nor a blue man of South Korea. Then what is he? A purple man? This is the tale of Hyuk Kim as a North Korean refugee in South Korea with no political intention.
Inhalt: Der 18-jährige Nordkoreaner Hyuk Kim wird im Gefängnis für illegalen Handel mit China gefoltert. Er wird bagnadigt und kann nach Südkorea fliehen. Dort lebt er glücklich, da er in den Selbstbedienungs-Restaurants unendlich viele seiner Lieblingseier essen kann. Manchmal stimmen ihn die Wirtschfatskrise und die Diskriminierung dennoch traurig. Er sieht sich selbst weder als roten Mann Nordkoreas, noch als blauen Mann des Südens. Aber was ist er dann? Lila? Dies ist die Geschichte von Hyuk Kim als nordkoreanischer Flüchtling ohne politische Absichten in Südkorea.

It is an apocalyptic tale of destruction, religious miracles and spectral visitations.

Jahrhunderts: Eine Pferdekutsche verunglückt im Wald, ein junger Reisender steigt aus dem Wrack und findet Kutscher und Pferde tief schlafend vor.

Er fällt hinein und landet in einer mittelalterlichen Stadt, die am Grunde des Sees liegt – und von den unheimlichen Kriegern bedroht wird.
