Hoping to settle in Gunsan, filmmaker Hwang Yun encounters the ruined village of Haje in 2018. Nearly every resident has left, but Jeon Jin-hyeon remains, resisting eviction by the Ministry of National Defense. A 600-year-old hackberry tree, another of Haje's last inhabitants, is threatened by expansion of a U.S. military base. Peace activists gather to protect it, and Yun joins them.

After more than five years of effort, the tree is designated a national heritage site.
