Plot

The politician Koo Myung-hui finds his wife in the garage. She is cleaning her son's bloodstained car, which has just run over a person.

Sinekatalog’s take

A politician finds his wife scrubbing their son's bloodstained car, and the cover-up begins to eat away at everyone. A bleak Korean thriller about status and denial, for viewers who like moral puzzles with a mean streak.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
