The film is set in South Korea, Poland's Mazovia region, and Medjugorie in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite their differences, the cultures of Poles and Koreans share many similarities. The film explores universal values, with peace being one of its most important messages. This message is addressed to people of all skin colors and religions around the world. Ethical principles like justice, loyalty, honesty, mercy, and respect are universal values. The message of the story is that peace between man and God must come before peace between people. This applies to all of us, regardless of our faith and worldview. The film will serve a social and educational purpose and will encourage viewers to reflect.
The Korean War, August 1980, and the war in Ukraine share a common denominator: the struggle for freedom, which often results in death, pain, and suffering. While each of these events has its heroes and victims, it is important to consider the individuals who fought for the most important human values. How did they find the courage, faith, and hope to put their own lives on the line and prevail? How often do we witness a miracle? Our film explores the experience of an unquestionable, tangible miracle of love, freedom, healing, or conversion and the impact it has on a person. We aim to portray how someone who has been bestowed with love by God or saved from death, illness, or damnation can show their gratitude and devotion to Him. The film is about faith, hope, love, and an act of grace. We want to tell this story to the best of our ability and be present with the camera at all events and locations relevant to the documentary narrative.
The film tells the stories of seemingly unrelated people. However, as the film progresses, we discover that they have a lot in common. Despite being born and living thousands of kilometers apart and having cultural differences, their paths intertwined. The individuals include Korean Priest Lee, a shepherd from Namyang, a disabled couple from Radom, and a happy Polish-Korean family - he from Mazovia, she from Seoul. The film presents testimonies of miraculous events experienced by individuals. It seems that miracles and extraordinary events are only the stuff of hagiography, but the film is a testimony to the fact that they really do take place! The logical chain of events that brings the characters together culminates in a shared sense of mission.
Films with similar themes and sensitivities are becoming increasingly popular, not only among believers. In a world where everyone is affected by a crisis of values, faith often emerges as the supreme and ultimate value. This is especially true when, as in the best art of filmmaking, the protagonist undergoes a transformation throughout the story, encountering others who wish to join in their work and overcoming adversity with impressive strength and faith. This is a guide for creating good cinema. The strength of this story lies in its truth. It is not a fictionalized account of paper characters, but rather a story about real people who live both far away and beside us. They are people who are familiar with our road to independence and aspire to follow in our footsteps. It is impossible to remain indifferent to this compelling story. While watching the film, skeptical viewers may reflect on their belief in the chosen path of our protagonists. In contemporary documentaries, it is important to pose difficult questions rather than provide easy answers, and to avoid the use of subjective judgments.
