Synopsis:

At the height of the Korean War, the remote community of Dongmakgol remains sheltered from the brutal conflict raging in its midst. But when two deserters from the South arrive at the same time that a naïve girl leads a small Northern unit to the village, a terrible conflict looks set to shatter its peaceful existence. Yet Dongmakgol is an almost magical place. A haven where the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life encourage the warring visitors to set aside their differences and join together in a desperate bid to defend the innocence of its people. Starring Hye-Jeong Kang (Old-Boy), Welcome to Dongmakgol is a beautifully shot war epic. Set to a sweeping score, it is both moving and uplifting, providing a cinematic experience guaranteed to live long in your memory

Set in the Autumn of 1950. The remote village of Dongmakgol is unaware of the Korean war that is going on and offers hospitality and refuge to groups of North and South Korean soldiers who both turn up at the same time, and also a stranded American pilot. A hostile stand-off between the groups occurs, with the unconcerned and slightly bemused villagers in the middle. However, the soldiers gradually start to get used to the village's easy-going lifestyle and attitudes, but everything changes when a troop of US soldiers arrive to rescue the pilot.

Soldiers from both sides of the Korean divide live among villagers who know nothing of the war.
