Jeon Do-yeon

A young widow (Jeon Do-yeon, whose wrenching performance won the award for Best Actress at Cannes) moves with her son to the small city where her late husband grew up. She settles in, trying to make friends among the suspicious locals, but attracting only the unwelcome attention of a shambling mechanic (The Host's Song Kang-ho). And then, out of nowhere, something terrible happens, and she finds herself struggling to make sense of it all.
