The hideous truth, concealed far too long.

Drama

Based on actual events that took place at Gwangju Inhwa School for the hearing-impaired, where young deaf students were the victims of repeated sexual assaults by faculty members over a period of five years in the early 2000s.

VIBE

A profoundly upsetting and vital experience, this film is a relentless exploration of systemic injustice and the devastating impact of abuse. It's a somber, unflinching look at human cruelty and the fight for the voiceless, leaving a lasting, heavy impression.
