The film crew has spent 7 years at one of the most unique institution-complexes in Central East Europe among Hungarian drug addicts. While watching the movie, the audience may also become part of the therapy and has here the possibility to access another 'time experience'. This documentary shows that questions raised by the surprisingly naturally behaving recovering addicts in front of the camera are very exciting and relevant to their peers and all those people in society who are equally on the track and wobbling in the process of searching for themselves.

In North Korea, over 300.000 men, women and children languish in Nazi-style concentration camps, routinely subjected to torture, rape, beatings and starvation. Most, even young children, will never leave. One of the largest camps is Yodok. Against all odds, a handful of prisoners have escaped to freedom in prosperous South Korea, including accomplished theater director Jung Sung San. To bring their stories to light, Jung writes and produces a controversial Broadway-inspired musical based on life in the camps. A box office success, this tour de force proves heroic as the defectors confront their nightmarish past and present-day death threats. At once inspiring and darkly disturbing, Yodok Stories reveal the enduring potential for beauty and art to rise from the depths of human suffering.
