ODE TO MY FATHER
South Korean filmmakers used the locations in Ostrava and its surroundings to shoot one of the most successful films in history.
The plot takes place in the 1960s after the Korean War, when the government sent Korean men in large numbers to work in German mines, while tasking women to serve as nurses and caretakers. Our North Moravian locations thus portrayed Germany.
