What happens

Viva Freedom! (Korean: 자유만세; aka Hurrah! For Freedom) is a 1946 Korean film directed by Choi In-kyu. It was one of the first films made in the country after achieving independence from Japan. During the colonial period, Choi was only allowed to make certain films, but the plot of Viva Freedom! is distinctly different, telling the story of a Korean patriotic resistance fighter in 1945. The film was made a Registered Cultural Heritage of South Korea in 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
