Jury Comment Through the suspense created by unexpected dialogues, the sharp yet nuanced directing challenges adults who mistake the children’s resilience to survive for cunning, provoking deeper questions about the nature of protection and responsibility. The depth in the performance of actors who played Su-yeon and Seon-yul is another element that adds astonishment to the film.

Jury Comment The film’s sense of stability was impressive; it brought out the story’s power to its maximum capacity. Instead of defining victim versus murderer, the film focused on the turmoil of emotion which happens within that relationship, and that resilient race was especially powerful. I also look forward to the three actors who showed good harmony in this film.
