Welcome To Dongmakgol (2005)

Synopsis:
An American pilot crashlands in a remote mountain region, and is rescued by the friendly locals of the village of Dongmakgol. Days later, two South Korean soldiers come across the same village, after fleeing from their regiment. After a bloody battle, three North Korean soldiers flee the advancing South Korean forces across the mountains, stumbling into the very same place.

The villagers, insulated from the outside world by their remote setting, are wonderfully unable to grasp the significance of a war of Korean against Korean, and through their innocence the soldiers themselves gradually become reconciled to each other. But just when they seem to have found peace, the war once more intrudes on the villages quiet existance - threatening to finish it off for good.
