About From the New World
After losing her son while defecting from North Korea, Myung-sun meets a fellow defector, Sin-tek, who is the leader of the Church of the Fire. Through him, Myung-sun begins to learn about the doctrines of resurrection as they settle at a small town in South Korea.
Directed by Choi Jeong-min, From the New World leans on a strong ensemble — Jeong Ha-dam, Lee Hae-in, Jin Yong-uk — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2023.
