In 1969, on the frontline of Kinmen Island, Taiwan, which is 1.8 km away from mainland China, new recruit 'Pao' enters the Marine Special Forces where he faces extreme training and danger.

Even amidst harsh training and dangerous missions, the soldiers' reliance on each other creates a warm and moving experience. Especially, the friendship between Pao and his comrade 'Akai' showcases the humanity that shines through the horrors of war.

The cold and strict Sergeant Jang, the innocent and fresh Akai, and Nini with her sorrowful past, each tell their own stories, illustrating the impact war has on humanity.

Kinmen Island, being the frontline facing mainland China, reveals a reality similar to that of a divided Korea. Through this setting, the film not only portrays the horrors of war but also implicitly hints at the reality of a divided Korea.

"Crowded Paradise" is a touching film that portrays the joys and sorrows of humanity in the midst of war. The human spirit blossoming in extreme circumstances and the diverse characters leave a deep impression on the audience.

Reasons to recommend "Crowded Paradise"

  • Viewers who enjoy war movies
  • Viewers interested in stories about human groups
  • Viewers interested in Taiwanese movies

"Crowded Paradise" is more than just a war film. Through the depiction of people who don't lose hope and live on even in the midst of war, the film delivers both emotion and lessons. Additionally, by using Kinmen Island as a symbolic setting, it prompts reflection on the reality of a divided Korea.
