July Jung : 2014
Dohee-ya
As a promising graduate from the National Police Academy, Young-nam gained a high-ranking position at the police headquarters in Seoul. But following an incident of misconduct involving her private life, she is transferred to a small coastal village. When she takes office as head of the local police station, she encounters Do-hee, a strange and sinister teenage girl. As Young-nam tries to adapt to her new surroundings, Do-hee's grandmother suffers a fatal fall from a cliff into the sea. She then discovers that Do-hee is being physically abused by her violent stepfather, Yong-ha, since her mother ran away. Concerned for the girl, Young-nam takes Do-hee under her wing. Despite being abandoned by her mother and suffering the violence of her stepfather, Do-hee retains a childlike innocence. Affected by the personality of the girl and her plight, Young-nam lets Do-hee stay at her place but things turn out to be more mysterious as she gets to know her and Do-hee develops an obsessive attachment to Young-nam. July Jung's feature debut premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2014.
