This is a film about the civil war in Somalia in 1991 and the problems for diplomats to flee the country. You need to know about Korean history and present political situation to understand the predicament that the ambassadors and their staff and families from both Korea's find themselves in. Politics almost outweigh humanitarian conduct. Finally they agree on a plan to escape together. The ride to the Italian embassy is spectacular, but also over-the-top. The four cars are fired at continuously from all angles by many machine guns, but they all arrive in one piece with just one casualty. Nevertheless this is an entertaining movie that painfully pictures a separation that is still present this day.
