In July of 1989, Participants from around the Socialist and Non-Aligned world gather in Pyongyang for the 13th Festival of Youth and Students. The newly built residential district on Kwangbok Street is used to house festival-goers. Not content with martial music and Marxist dialectics, a sweaty socialist disco erupts and -- from the looks of it -- a good time is had by all.
