Synopsis

When Ho-Chang loses a ball and sneaks into the yard of an American missionary in an attempt to retrieve it, he catches his first glimpse of the sport that will soon change his life and lift the spirit of his downtrodden nation. Soon learning that the lovely Jung-rim is currently in the process of organizing Korea's first baseball team, Ho-Chang eagerly signs-up along with best friend Kwang-tae and Dae-hyeon, who also strives for Jung-rim's affections. Despite his father's wishes that he follow a more scholarly path, the team is soon at the top of their game. As Korea begins to feel the bleak realities of the Ulsa Treaty and the team's playing grounds are usurped by Japanese soldiers, one game may prove a nations final hope to achieve triumph in the face of adversity

Awards: 2002: Blue Dragon Film Awards (South Korea): nominated to Best New Director.
