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.

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****

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.
