Sinopsis(1)
Mrs. K, an upper class housewife, appears to be a beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman focused only on cooking and parenting. But a sudden turn of events shockingly reveals her actual skills are in fighting and survival. The urbane yet cold spaces captured in the film visually accentuate the threatening situation she has fallen into: She is being blackmailed by an ex-cop from Macau and her teenage daughter is kidnapped by a young couple. The mother and daughter, trapped in such life-threatening situations, are each able to be a "strong woman" in their own right. Mrs. K, with her extraordinary past, has been keeping secrets from her husband and the ex-cop. The tension that builds up as a result of such narrative elements is complemented by occasional light humor. (Busan International Film Festival)
