When Russian film director Vitaliy Manskiy was shooting his Under The Sun which describes life in North Korea, he shared some of his impressions with journalists. When Manskiy tried to buy notebooks as souvenirs in a North Korean shop, he was told it wasn't possible. When he saw shelves full of tomato juice and asked their price, he was told there was no price label yet. In fact, juice, like everything else there, was not for sale. The director concluded that it was not a store, but an exhibition.
