The film is based on a true story, the infamous Nayoung Case in 2008, in which an 8-year-old girl called "Na-young" in the Korean press, was raped and beaten by a drunk 57-year-old man in a public toilet. The court sentenced the man to only 12 years in prison, which caused outrage in the country due to the terrible brutality of the crime and the man's history of physical and sexual violence.

2013  |  122 minutes  |  Directed by Lee Joon-ik
