About this movie

A girl found murdered. A mother's handicapped son stands accused, but she will stop at nothing to prove his innocence. Hye ja plays a single mum to 27-year-old Do-joon. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is like a child and dependent on his mother, sometimes behaving in ways that are stupid or simply dangerous. One day a young girl is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. An inefficient lawyer and the apathetic police force that close Do-joon's case too quickly inspire his mother to act on her own - to act as Mother in its purest form. Summoning all her maternal instincts and trusting no one, she sets out to find a killer and prove her son's innocence; no matter what the cost. © 2009 CJ ENTERTAINMENT INC. & BARUNSON CO., LTD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

A film that movingly exposes the crimes a parent willingly commits to protect her child, and the mercy brought by forgetting for both parent and child alike. I particularly enjoyed the last scene where her own lapse into forgetfulness culminates into joining others who, it is suggested, also bear weights of crime committed in the name of parenthood.

This was a "WatchMojo" recommendation so I had to give it a watch. Definitely an interesting movie. Really gets you thinking and keeps you engaged to the very end. This was definitely one of the better foreign films I've seen in a while. ****4 stars****
