從茹毛飲血到現代工業， 人類見證進化的偉大與悲愴。朴慶根再次顛覆觀眾對工業化和大自然紀錄片的印象，重新打開 觀眾開世界的一扇窗。融合了遠古薩滿傳統和現代煉鐵造船工業，俯瞰韓國蔚山現代重工集團高聳的船廠、POSCO浦項鋼鐵 廠宏偉的熔礦爐、縱橫交錯的航道、黑暗平靜的海洋和活生生的海鯨，在重工業與生命力的交響樂之中悠悠叫喚神靈之名，鏡頭拍出撼人的氣魄，以及人對大自然又愛又恨的敬畏和征服。

Multimedia artist Kelvin Park follows his 2010 debut Cheonggyecheon Medley: A Dream of Iron with another mesmerizing meditation on the symbolic and symbiotic relationship between metal and South Korea’s past and present. Backdropped by a magnificent symphony of classical, spiritual and industrial sounds, the documentary, which started out as a museum installation, traces from cave drawings of whales, the gods of early civilization, to modernity’s god in the machine. Park interposes archival footage with arresting imagery of heavy industry and men at work shot in the expanses of Hyundai’s shipyard and POSCO’s steel mills.
