Ancient Korea, July 4, 1762. The Crown Prince Hyojang, posthumously named Sado, son of King Yeongjo of Joseon, is accused of treason. Thus, the king asks him to commit suicide, but his closest vassals prevent it, so the king orders the prince to get inside a wooden rice chest, where he suffers deprivation of food and water.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A suffocating portrait of familial cruelty and royal tyranny where a son's slow death in a wooden chest becomes a horrifying meditation on duty, shame, and the price of power. This is historical tragedy rendered as unbearable intimacy.
