Extraordinary… the strangest north korean tale yet
The Guardian
Funny, thoughtful, knowingly absurd
Variety
North Korea remains one of the great enemies of the West. Nonetheless, Laibach accepted an invitation
to play a concert on Korean Liberation Day. The film follows the band members between their arrival in North Korea and the show. The preparations are obstructed by technical difficulties, cultural differences and constant censorship.
