Kim Jae-han : 2013
Thùy, a Vietnamese national, is married to a Korean man and lives with her in-laws in rural Korea. She is sincere to him and his parents, whilst slowly adapting to life in a foreign country. One day, she is informed that her husband has died in a motorcycle accident. Thùy's suspicions are aroused as she knows that her husband, who had lost several fingers, was incapable of riding a motorcycle. When she starts probing into the details of the accident and his death, she is faced with ambivalence and threats. In this rural village patrolled by the villagers themselves, Thùy's struggle to find the truth keeps hitting roadblocks. A police officer from Seoul wants to help her, but he is of no great use in the face of the local police chief's inaction and the villagers' habit of completely ostracising outsiders. Kim Jae-han's feature debut premiered at Busan International Film Festival 2013, and had its international premiere at Dubai International Film Festival 2013.
