Endlessly sunny and hard-working, countryside coal miner Kim Yong Mi daydreams of becoming a high-flying trapeze star. A beneficial work transfer to Pyongyang and a fortuitous encounter with her idol Ri Su Yon lead her to the chance of a lifetime: an audition with the national circus.

A joint venture between North Korea, Belgium, and the UK. COMRADE KIM GOES FLYING is the first of its kind to be shot entirely with Korean locations and cast.
