Lee Kyoung-mi made a strong impression with her acclaimed feature debut Crush and Blush that was produced by Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden, Oldboy), and eight years later she returns with a similarly innovative and daring film co-written by Park. This time, however, the film tackles the theme of local politics as it follows the wife (Son Ye-jin) of an aspiring politician (Kim Joo-hyuk) who is determined to find their missing daughter who disappeared on the first day of a national election campaign. But with her husband more interested in his own political career, she takes matters into her own hands, discovering a twisted web of conspiracy and lies.

The film’s unusual but intelligent narrative structure and mesmerising performance by Son Ye-jin is sure to leave a lasting impression.
