After fleeing her hometown during the Korean War to join the U.S. military, the elder lady Lee Ki-in farms on and off the Civilian Demilitarized Zone. Through her story, The Land of Frogs depicts her noble efforts to maintain her ties to the land in the face of endless threats. She farms on the "front land" inside the DMZ, but it is not a place where she can settle down, as she must pass through a strict border. The "back land" she has been working on is reclaimed in the name of creating a park to commemorate its history. Her struggle to lead the elders and prevent the development is ultimately defeated by the law and the system, but it leaves a profound message. If we erase the traces of the present and create a space for memorialization, what will we remember? In a land where division never ends and development never stops.
