Based on a real kidnapping case that actually happened in Busan,
this is said to be a story that shocked South Korea at the time.
The work begins with a young girl being kidnapped.

This young girl grew up in a house in Busan, and when her
family learns that she has been abducted, they fall into despair.
The father tries to find her, but the mother
visits fortune tellers in an attempt to learn her daughter’s whereabouts.
Then the mother meets a shaman, and he
learns that her daughter is alive.
I hope you check out what happens after that
through the film.
The mother desperately wants to believe the shaman’s words
and acts according to what he says.
However, he is a recently independent shaman who lives by
his own convictions, firmly following the path he believes in.
Life is difficult for the family, but living while
holding on to one’s own beliefs is admirable.
This kind of character is a lone wolf of a police officer who chases the criminal,
and instead of trying to solve the case, he approaches the problem
simply with the conviction that he must find the child.
When the mother said she was listening to the shaman, it seemed questionable,
but following his words, she feels that the child is gradually
getting closer.
It is truly moving to see this person living while
holding on to his own convictions.
His actions deliver a message that is both challenging and hopeful.
The mother’s changes may also have been influenced by this character.
You can take away the lesson that it is important to live by your own
convictions, rather than merely listening to the shaman and acting on his words.
Stories like this give us great courage and strength.
The sight of the two men joining forces to find the child
warms the heart.
The two men, each living by their own convictions, only have a hard time,
but the mother, who has faith in them, is impressive.
This film was even more moving because it was based on a true story.
It also became an opportunity to think about the problems of past society
and present society through this film.
The tension of searching for the child can be felt through the actors’ performances,
and thanks to that, there was no dull moment in the film.
Overall, it was a solid and moving
film.
