A touching documentary about the life of an old man who has been living alone on Ulleung Island. There are three attractions in Ulleung Isalnd: dried squid, pumpkin toffee, and watchman LEE Sang-ho. He has been spending his entire life of 74 years here. He always smiles, helps neighbor, cleans up when the tourists make it dirty. He never wants any compensation. He just does it if it helps his hometown. The film follows the old man’s daily life and records it. There is no special event and no gimmick used to sway viewers, allowing for a better understanding of the warm heart of the old man and his neighbors. The director HWANG Seok-ho explains that he wanted today’s busy people to take it easy by looking at the beautiful sight of Ulleung Island and the innocent old man and his smile.
