July, 1950. The country is astir with the Korean War, but things in Bawui-gol, a small mountain village, go on as normal. Once in a while they hear news about the war through people who go into town. But, as the American army gets defeated and retreats south, the people of Ba-wui-gol are forced to evacuate and seek refuge. [A Little Pond], which is based on the Nogunri incident follows how ‘ignorant’ people who did not know anything about the realities of war were sacrificed. Rather than dealing this situation from a set ideological viewpoint, Lee captures the people as a whole, within a community in the big picture. Also, this film is the late Park Gwang-jung’s last film. It is another tribute to his final performance as an actor.
