影片讲述第一次世界大战，托曼尼亚王国独裁者辛格尔（查理·卓别林饰）上台。他的大肆扩张导致战乱不断民不聊生。并且他大搞阴谋政策，煽动民众对犹太人的敌对与仇恨，让犹太人民陷入水深火热的灾难之中。被征入伍的犹太人理发师查理（查理·卓别林饰）更是在这样的高压政策下难逃一劫。当查理逃出边境时，被驻守在这里的军队误认为是独裁者辛格尔，他趁机做了一场“为自由而战斗”的大演说。该片是查理·卓别林的第一部有声片，摄于希特勒统治最为黑暗的时期，片中对他辛辣讽刺跟丑化比比皆是。本片荣获第13届（1941）奥斯卡最佳电影、最佳男主角、最佳男配角、最佳编剧、最佳音乐5项提名。

Byeong-tae (Yoon Mun-seob), a philosophy major at Y University, goes to a group blind date and meets Young-ja (Lee Young-ok), who studies French literature at H University. The young men and women of the 1970s, who have grown up under the influence of a rapid influx of Western culture, agonize over college issues, family conflicts, and their future paths in life. But such struggles are self-derisive, and they can see no tomorrow waiting for them. Between Byeong-tae and Young-ja, there is no promise of love, of any kind. They simply meet, and exchange meaningless conversation. Meanwhile, Yeong-cheol (Ha Jae-young), who always rides a bike and declares every time he drinks that he will set off in search of a whale, has feelings for another girl he met on the blind date, named Sun-ja (Kim Young-suk). But Sun-ja rejects Yeong-cheol, who stammers, has no prospects, and was even turned down for military duty due to health reasons, and he falls into despair. With nothing to look forward to, Byeong-tae and Yeong-cheol head to the sea. Yeong-cheol, who boasted that he would catch a beautiful whale in the East Sea, commits suicide, and Byeong-tae enlists with the military. Young-ja comes to see him off, even though she said she wouldn't see him any more, and the two of them kiss through the open window of the train that will carry Byeong-tae away.
