Do-yeon Jeon gives a shattering performance as a widowed mother who moves to her late husband's hometown for a new beginning to raise her son. However another tragedy sends her on downward spiral that's excruciatingly painful to watch as we witness her trying to find a meaning in the face of absolute loss. It's a very visceral kind of a film the way "Oldboy" was. The film successfully manages to take you on a emotional journey if you are up to it. Kang-ho Song (The Host) provides a much needed comic relief in the this drama from Korea. YRCinema's coverage of AFI Fest 2007.
