Plot
During the Japanese colonial period, Ji-sang volunteers to join Japan's forced labor unit on behalf of his elder brother. There, he runs into Woo-seok, a friend from high school, and they work and live in the Hashima Branch of the Takashima Coal Mine owned by Mitsubishi Mining Co. Working in a harsh environment where people are dying of restless labor, Ji-sang hears that his wife, Seo-hyeong, has given birth to a son. Ji-sang plots an escape with his roommate Myeong-guk.
