Program Note
Lucas cannot hear sounds, but he grows up with dignity thanks to those who care for him and respect his intelligence. Father Mejor, the priest of the remote fishing village where Lucas lives, is highly respected for promising the development of the village. Behind the scenes, however, he sexually abuses Lucas. Lucas’s mother, who has noticed her son’s strange behavior, is devasted when she discovers the truth. Few people are willing to help them, while most people refuse to listen. The rights of the accused are easily ignored, and those in power do not hesitate to manipulate the outcome of the lawsuit. After presenting Amok (2011) and Shackled (2012), which focused on violence, crime, and justice, director Lawrence Fajardo returns to Busan with a sharper sense of directing. He also remade the Philippine version of A Hard Day (2013) by Kim Seong-hun. The powerful performance of child actor Enzo Osorio, who plays Lucas, is particularly striking. (PARK Sungho)
