Directed by Lee Su-jin
Overview
The film is a coming-of-age story about a high school student, the titular Han Gong-ju, who loses her friend in a terrible gang rape incident and is pressured to leave her family and move to another school by the perpetrators’ parents. To escape scandal, she finds herself living in the home of her former teacher’s mother in a different neighborhood. After transferring to a new school, the withdrawn and traumatized Gong-ju keeps to herself and tries to move on from what happened. But she is befriended by Eun-hee, who convinces her to join an a cappella club. When news gets out of Gong-ju’s new hobby, a group of parents of her former classmates causes a stir. Living with a stranger and cold to her new classmates, it takes a long time for Gong-ju’s troubled past to catch up with her, but when it does the revelation is devastating.
