2013 Family Drama Science Fiction
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Kang Dong-hae, an unremarkable high school student, stumbles upon an extraordinary power hidden within him. He can manipulate time, a gift that quickly morphs into a grim bargain. Each use of his ability steals precious days from his own lifespan. Driven by desperation to save his terminally ill mother, Dong-hae is thrust into an agonizing conflict, torn between the selfish pursuit of a miracle and the crushing weight of responsibility. His personal drama unfolds against the starkly normal backdrop of Korean suburban life, where the supernatural lurks just beneath the surface of the mundane.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film is a poignant hybrid, a family drama infused with subtle sci-fi elements that serve its human core. Its strength lies in a restrained, heartfelt narrative that prioritizes emotional logic over spectacle.

What lingers after the screen fades is a quiet, profound meditation on mortality and the choices that define a life. It’s a story that values emotional truth above all else. — MovieFinder Editorial
