Akaboshi

The story of a mother who devotes herself to a cult religion and becomes mentally imbalanced after the disappearance of her husband, and her son who continues to stay by her side. It explores the beauty and horror of family ties. The mother is played by popular voice actress Park Romi, who fell in love with the script despite it being a low-budget independent production. She gives a powerful performance in her first starring role in a live action film. In the dawn sky, stars gradually fade away until only one continues to shine: Akaboshi, the morning star.
