Director: Vitaly Mansky

Synopsis:
This extraordinary film follows a North Korean girl as she prepares to celebrate the Day of the Shining Star, the birthday of the former supreme leader Kim Jong-Il. By making the North Korean regime an official production partner and by allowing official complete control over the script, the veteran filmmaker Vitaly Mansky and his documentary crew gained unprecedented access to the land of the rising sun also depicted by its citizens as “the best country in the world”.
