The Square

Trama

Isak Borg, the tall, blonde, and blue-eyed First Secretary to the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang, finds himself under constant surveillance as a diplomat. Despite this, he maintains a secret relationship with Bok-joo, a local traffic officer. When his request to extend his stay is denied, Isak asks Bok-joo to return to Stockholm with him. She rejects the idea and subsequently vanishes, leaving Isak desperate to find her. Unaware of the danger he might be causing, Isak seeks help from his interpreter, Myeong-jun.
