Following the North Korean mid-air bombing of Korean Air Flight 858 in 1987, a Summit was held between North and South Korea to defuse the extreme tension on the Korean peninsula. The summit ended with the agreement to hastily form a unified Korean sports team; and table tennis, being highly visible and world-class in both countries, was chosen as the symbolic unifier. Summarily, the first-ever unified North-South team under the simple aegis “Korea” was formed to compete in the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba, Japan. Based on this story, Moon Hyeon-seong comes up with a movie about how the two teams came together, the difficulties they faced and how they managed to triumph in the end.
