Syeyoung Park's 'The Fin' Premieres at Locarno Film Festival
Imagine a future Korea, where the land is damaged and people are different.
Some people, called Omegas, are treated unfairly and forced to work.
A young government worker, named Sujin, starts to think this isn't right.
She begins to help an Omega, Mia, who is hiding.
The movie, called 'The Fin', shows this story.
