Ryu is a deaf man doing everything he can to fund his ailing sister’s kidney transplant — until he’s conned by organ traffickers. When the hospital calls with a legitimate donor, he’s crushed by the feeling that he’s thrown away her only chance. His girlfriend Young-mi has a solution: kidnap a child for ransom. It should be simple. It isn’t. What follows is a spiral of violence and grief where every desperate act only brings more destruction. Matt Choi

“A gripping psychodrama, marbled with blackly ironic humor.” — Variety

“Deeply twisted and bizarre… with nightmarish conviction.” — The Guardian
