A Boy of May

Jeong Sae-nal, a young boy in Gwang-ju City, receives new sneakers as a 12th birthday gift, but he is shot by martial law forces while playing with his friends in a mountain reservoir in the back of the town. Sae-nal wakes up to the moonlight and the scent of wild roses and flies to downtown Gwang-ju City on a sneaker plane. He meets countless people who fought for democracy against the soldier's guns and flies high in a sneaker plane.
