Overview

Jae-wan, a successful lawyer, takes on the case of a rich executive's son, who has purposely run over and killed a man and left his daughter seriously injured. It's Jae-wan's job to defend a murderer, just another rung on his career's golden-stepped ladder. His younger brother, on the contrary, is a scrupulous and upstanding paediatrician, who always puts the health of his patients over profit and money, often contravening the rules of the private clinic where he works. The brothers meet once a month with their wives for fine dining in expensive restaurants, but when an unexpected situation involving their teenage kids arises, their consciences are questioned and their usual dinner conversation takes an unexpected turn.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A searing moral reckoning that strips away the civility of upper-class family dinners when a shocking crime forces two brothers to confront the gap between their principles and their choices. Darkly funny and increasingly claustrophobic as privilege collides with conscience.
