My explanation has tons of spoilers, so don't read it if you want to see this movie.
The premise is that a deaf and dumb Korean factory worker takes care of his sister, who needs a kidney transplant. He does everything he can to ensure that she will get one, but none of it is enough. On top of that, he gets laid off. So he and his girlfriend kidnap his boss's young daughter, believing that the boss will simply pay the ransom, which is exactly enough for the sister's operation. Unfortunately, the sister figures out what is going on, and kills herself. Ryu, the brother, drives the sister's corpse and the little girl out to a lake-type place to bury the sister under some river stones. Unfortunately, the little girl wakes up alone in the parked car and goes looking for Ryu. She yells to get Ryu's attention, but he's deaf, so she swims out to meet him. She has never had swimming lessons, and drowns. So now a kidnapping that has become pointless results in the death of the child. So, the father finds out about the death of his daughter, and makes it his life's purpose to find those responsible. Also, Ryu goes to kill some people who could have helped his sister and didn't. So now they're dead. The father learns who did the kidnapping, and tortures Ryu's girlfriend to death, despite her declarations that she is a member of a terrorist organization that will kill him. Ryu and the father somehow meet, and the father kills Ryu. And then a bunch of guys follow him out to a deserted area and kill him. Turns out she was right about the terrorist organization.
The end.
If you like Korean psychological thrillers that are brutal and bloody, this is totally the movie for you.
