My Name Is Loh Kiwan

In Kim Hee Jin's first film as a director, we follow the touching story of Loh Kiwan (Song Joong Ki). Kiwan is a young man from North Korea trying to make a new life in Belgium.

Kiwan and his mom, Ok Hee (Kim Sung Ryung), escape from North Korea to China. But life is hard there, and they always fear being sent back or mistreated. Then, on Kiwan's birthday, something really sad happens.

Kiwan is bringing an umbrella to his mom when the police find them. A truck hits Ok Hee as she tries to save Kiwan, and she dies. Kiwan is heartbroken but remembers his mom's wish for him to go to Belgium for a new start.

In Belgium, Kiwan has to learn a new language and find a job. He meets Marie (Choi Sung Eun), a Korean woman who is now a Belgian citizen. Marie's life feels empty, unlike Kiwan's, who's there with a purpose. They don't hit it off at first, but slowly, something special starts to grow between them.
