Japanese Mori (Ryo Kase) comes to Korea in search of the woman he loves Kwon (Seo Young-hwa) and stays in a guest house near her house. He meets Sang-won (Kim Eui-sung), a truthful and warm man. Sang-won takes Mori to look around once and drinks and eats with him twice.

While drinking, Mori says, "I want to see her" and tells Do Soo-cheon, a foreigner who drinks with them, that he envies him for living with his wife.

When Sang-won asks if he should find that woman, Mori says, "I don't care if I see her or not. The important thing is that I am looking for her and thinking about her".

This drunken but honest scene of Mori's is the highlight of this movie. Sometimes actors drink the real stuff to film a scene but Ryo Kase is a lightweight and couldn't avoid becoming slightly drunk.

His face became hotter and he was tired but Ryo Kase showed amazing concentration to make this scene happen. Kim Eui-sung has had experience drinking and filming in other movies.

The drinking scene was successfully filmed and the audience are looking forward to it. Director Hong Sang-soo has always been known for his drunken scenes in every movie he does.

"Hill of Freedom" is being released on the 4th of September.
