Lost Dogs

Quiet spinster Jeong-Eun's strained relationship with her mother reaches an apex. Hope of escape comes when her long absent brother returns as a pious missionary. In confidence to Jeong-Eun he reveals himself as a sham, too far in debt to a sadistic gambling den bent on body mutilation. Jeong-Eun promises to clear his debt on the condition he takes care of mother. She then abandons her passive nature and tip toes past her own moral line. (San Diego Film Festival)
