This is a true story of a Korean-born Juno's life in Harbin during the 1930s to 1940s. It highlights key elements,such as his departure from his hometown at a young age to escape poverty, the significant encounter with American missionary Bruce Hunt, and the subsequent connection with the Pastor Petrov family, and the journey to Istanbul, Turkey, via the Trans-Siberian Railways, in 1941. This sets the stage for a compelling narrative, particularly given the historical context of Japanese control in Manchuria and Korea during that time.
