In a remote mountain village of 15th-century Joseon, humble headman Heung-do hears a rumor that any village hosting an exiled nobleman will be blessed with abundance and fortune. Hoping to bring prosperity to his impoverished community, he eagerly submits a petition to host one—unaware that his guest is none other than the fallen monarch, deposed boy-king Danjong.
The film, which reimagines the touching friendship between a village chief and the exiled King Danjong, has earned widespread acclaim for its emotional ensemble performances and its visually striking depiction of the Joseon Dynasty. [TMDB]
