Every April and May, the mudflats in the South Korean West Sea were full of snipes. They were flying from Australia to Siberia for breeding and rested for a while on the mudflats, which provided a lot of food. In 2004, however, the Okgu salt farm, the snipes' most giant habitat in Gunsan, South Korea, was closed due to land development. Since then, we could not find any trace of the snipes. Where did they go? The documentary visits the snipe habitat in South Korea and Australia, traces the flock of birds that disappears, and emphasize the importance of environmental conservation
