      Gulup-do is a beautiful island located in the western sea of Korea. Instead of preserving and reclaiming this great site, one major Korean company tries to develop the island as a huge golf course. With the support of the cultural artist association to protect Gulup-do (hereinafter Artists Support in Gulupdo), Photo artist Kim Jung-man sets out on a journey to the island to take pictures of the great landscapes. Kim also delivers the seed which has been the symbol of ecological preservation to the members of Artists Support in Gulup-do. Posing external landscape along with internal imagery, the ambitious documentary embraces the issues of the environment and the lives.
