A Tree of One Thousand Years Directed by Cho Eun-seong 천년나무
In the deserted village of Haje, a 600-year-old pagoda tree stands as a solitary sentinel. Once a thriving fishing community of over 2,000 residents near the U.S. military base in Gunsan, Haje fell victim to forced relocation and demolition. The Ministry of Defense seized the land due to its proximity to the base's ammunition depot, transforming it into a military zone. If Haje becomes a military base, centuries of history and the village's remnants will vanish. The ancient pagoda tree, deeply rooted and sacred to the village, has long served as a 'microcosm'—a sanctuary for butterflies, insects, birds, and other small creatures. Around this living monument, a group has united to protect the peace and life it symbolizes.
