After 8-year-old So-won narrowly survives a brutal sexual assault, her family labors to help her heal while coping with their own rage and grief.

The atmosphere is heavy with a suffocating, quiet grief that lingers long after the screen goes dark. This unflinching portrait of survival finds its heartbeat in a child's fragile resilience and a family's desperate attempt to reclaim their humanity.
