Yi Ik-sang’s “The Banished” tells the sad tale of how the tenant farmer Deukchun and his wife come to experience ever-increasing displacement and degradation in their search for a better life.

The couple’s desire to escape from their dire poverty leads them away from their small country hometown, to another farming village, then finally to a bustling town.
