Description

In spring 1987, 14-year-old Song Gwi-cheol runs away from his abusive father to Seoul. Lost at Cheongnyangni Station, he meets a fugitive student activist who brings him to Korea University. Nicknamed “Jung-dol,” he finds a surrogate family among the campus movement. By June, Jung-dol joins the pro-democracy protests, becomes part of the student­run nongak ensemble, and masters the janggu drum. His journey from street orphan to activist and talented drummer embodies the spirit of Korea’s 1987 student uprising.
