This North Korean propaganda film uses carefully crafted scenes to make it seem more like a documentary. The storyline is of a young man, falling in love with a happy, dutiful worker in the government's fix-up department. Although he does all he can to woo her, she stays true to her duty and love of The Dear Leader, continuing to plaster walls. There are a few sub-themes, such as the importance of eating potatoes instead of rice, an actual government policy, seemingly forced into the film. It shows happy workers with plenty to eat, in a country literally starving to death.
