Quack herbalist and acupuncturist Hye-Ja (Kim Hye-Ja in
the role of her career) lives for her retarded son. When a
sexually precocious girl is murdered, evidence found at the
scene incriminates him – and so his mother undertakes an
investigation to prove his innocence.
A startlingly original account of maternal feelings in all their
terrifying intensity, blackly comic and exquisitely shot.
