A young, mentally retarded boy is wrongfully accused of murder, but his family lacks the means to hire an attorney to defend him. The boy’s sister, Kiriko, pleads with an accomplished attorney named Otsuka to defend her brother pro bono. But because of Otsuka’s busy schedule and other priorities, he refuses to take the case. Lacking a proper defense, Kiriko’s brother is eventually convicted of murder, and dies in prison. From that point on, Kiriko is determined to take revenge against Otuska.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a chilling character study, relying on subtle shifts in performance rather than overt drama to chart Kiriko's transformation. It explores how systemic indifference can forge a quiet, devastating fury, building tension through what is left unsaid.

What lingers after the credits is the unsettling realization of how fragile our moral compass can be when pushed to extremes. A sobering reflection on guilt and consequence. — MovieFinder Editorial
