Lenin’s Lamp Glows in the Peasant’s Hut is a work with many points of entry. In the text piece that can be viewed as a sketch for the film, the conceptual content of the film is presented as a number of mineshafts, various vertical movements that are joined together and create a system of meanings into which viewers may descend.

Kora is deliberately shot and edited from a first person perspective, placing the viewer on the path of a pilgrim. The thin air of the dizzying altitude is made palpable through the hand-held camera technique.

In 2003, Prof. Song Du-yul decided to go back to his homeland after spending thirty seven years in Germany in spite of an arrest warrant that had been issued. But within a week he fell from a respected advocate of democracy to the biggest spy ever. This threw Korean society into a turmoil of red paranoia.
