About Goryojang
A village of starving slash-and burn farmers maintains a primitive life with shamanism, the people in the village has a tradition that if one is 70 or order, he is thrown away on a mountain. It is a rule rather than a tradition since they starve to death. He goes to a mountain with putting his mother on his back to throw her away but breaks the rule by returning to home without throwing her away as thinking he shall be discarded some day like his mother.
