Park Chan-wook followed up his highly acclaimed
Joint Security Area with this tale of a deaf mute named Ryu (

Because his blood type is incompatible and no donors are available, he turns to a group of black-market organ dealers who offer to find one in return for one of his and ten million won. The dealers rip him off, so Ryu conspires with his girlfriend, a political activist, to kidnap his former boss' young daughter and ransom her for the ten million won. But a horrible complication ruins their plans and things begin to spiral out of control as the girl's father (
Song Kang-ho) decides to take matters into his own hands with the help of a sympathetic cop.
