Two North Koreans carrying Japanese passports bearing the names "Shin Ichi" and "Ma Yumi" plan to explode a Seoul-bound plane in mid-air. They are diverted to another plane after they have planted the bomb. When the plane crashes, killing all on board, the two plan to commit suicide. The man succeeds, but the woman is saved through medical intervention. When she witnesses the suffering of the surviving families of the bombing victims, she begs to be executed as an apology.[2]
The film is based on Kim Hyon Hui, a North Korean agent whose Japanese teacher, Yaeko Taguchi, was paroled in 1998, and 12 years later she met Yaeko's son Kochi and told him that his mother was still alive.[3]
