INDELINE

Best friends Dong-sik and Seung-ho have a crush on the same girl at school. When she's found raped and murdered, the main fishy is someone the boys know very well, and it tears their friendship aside.

Lee Nan-young, who is famous for ‘Tears in Mokpo,’ made her debut at OK Records in the 1930s, and married Kim Hae-song, an acclaimed, genius composer at that time. In the year of liberation in 1945, 'KPK Musical Troupe' won popularity with the duo of Lee Nan-young and Kim Hae-song, but Kim got kidnapped by North Korea. During the Korean War, Lee made Korea’s first girl vocal group ‘Kim Sisters’ with her daughters Suk-ja, Ae-ja and her niece Min-ja who inherited their parents’ musical talent. Thanks to Lee’s desperate effort and intense training, ‘Kim Sisters’ gained popularity at the American 8th Army base. They got all the way to Las Vegas, USA for the first time as Asians, showing strong appeal to American public. Min-ja of ‘Kim Sisters’ is still working as a singer in Budapest, Hungary. The audience can meet the three shy girls who fluently sang songs in English without even knowing the language, through the memories of Min-ja in the film.

In spring 1987, 14-year-old Song Gwi-cheol runs away from his abusive father to Seoul. Lost at Cheongnyangni Station, he meets a fugitive student activist who brings him to Korea University. Nicknamed “Jung-dol,” he finds a surrogate family among the campus movement. By June, Jung-dol joins the pro-democracy protests, becomes part of the student­run nongak ensemble, and masters the janggu drum. His journey from street orphan to activist and talented drummer embodies the spirit of Korea’s 1987 student uprising.

In 1966, the girl band ‘All Stars’ was formed centered on drummer Kitty (Jun-im Lim), a third-year high school student. They left the country with an understanding that they were going to perform in Southeast Asia. However, they arrived and put on a spot to perform, sometimes risking their lives, for the soldiers on the battlefield of Vietnam. Kitty was recognized for her musical talent, and formed the five-member girl band ‘Korean Black Eyes’ in Bangkok in 1971. The band moved onto Beirut as their base and toured throughout the Middle East and Africa, including Egypt and Nigeria. When they entered Spain in 1973, they went on a concert tour with Cliff Richard, Julio Iglesias, and others. They recorded an album in Portugal at the suggestion of a local producer, but had to quickly escape the country when the military revolution broke out. Wherever they went, including Vietnam and Lebanon, they encountered turbulent scenes of modern history.
