Mother
is completely devoted to her simple-minded, 27 year-old son, Do-joon.
One night, while walking home drunk, Do-joon encounters a schoolgirl
whom he follows until she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning,
she is found dead and the boy is accused of her murder. An inefficient
lawyer bungles the case, resulting in Do-joon's incarceration. Mother
is convinced of his innocence and she undertakes her own investigation.
Nothing could prepare her (or the audience) for what follows.
