Synopsis
1953: the Korean war has ended, but the fight for survival has just begun. Two 18-year-old boys, Taeho and Jongdu, live in a camp for orphaned boys, which is more of a concentration camp where everyone suffers from hunger, inhumane treatment and unbearable work conditions. But these two have a dream of a better tomorrow. Taeho is the one with wits and brains and Jongdu is the tough street fighter. Together they scheme to steal US Army supplies and recruit other boys, but when they start to take business away from the local gangsters their fight for survival turns into a war.
