Schedule

XXI 4 | SAT 3 DEC | 12:15

Synopsis

Upper-class homemaker Mrs. K appears to be a beautiful, elegant, upper-class lady focused only on cooking and parenting. But a sudden turn of events shockingly reveals that her real skills are in fighting and survival. The urbane yet cold spaces captured in the film visually accentuate the threatening situation she has fallen into: She is being blackmailed by an ex-cop from Macau, and a young couple has kidnapped her teenage daughter. Trapped in such life-threatening situations, the mother and daughter are each able to be a “strong woman” in her own right.
