Korea is the land of the rising sun," says eight-year-old schoolgirl Zin- mi. Despite continuous interference by government handlers, Russian director Vitaly Mansky still managed to document life in Pyongyang, North Korea in this fascinating family portrait. It's an important year for Zin-mi as she prepares to join the Korean Children's Union on the 'Day Of The Shining Star' (Kim Jong-Il's birthday). As the family receives instruction on how to be the ideal patriots, Mansky's watchful camera capture details from comrades struggling to stay awake during an official event to Zin-mi's tears at a particularly grueling dance lesson.
