What happens

The Schoolgirl's Diary (or The Journal of a Schoolgirl) is a 2007 North Korean film directed by Jang In-hak. It debuted at the 2006 Pyongyang Film Festival as one of two films produced domestically that year, and was released in France at the end of 2007. In 2016, Radio Free Asia, a U.S. government-funded agency, incorrectly claimed that the film had been banned in North Korea. However, the film has been broadcast on North Korean state television KCTV and archived on the state-controlled news website Uriminzokkiri. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
