South Korea`s official submission to the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film in 2009. A widowed mother lives alone with her only son, Do-joon. He`s 28 years old, a shy and quiet young man. In the aftermath of a terrible murder, the woman`s son becomes the prime suspect. There`s no real evidence against him, but the police zero in on him simply because he can`t prove his innocence. Eager to close the case, the police arrest the boy. His defense attorney turns out to be incompetent and unreliable, making a conviction seem inevitable. Faced with no other choice, his mother gets involved, determined to prove her son`s innocence.
