NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE

Alone in the world with the death of her grandmother and guardian, thirteen-year-old Suyeon dreads her imminent absorption by the state child-care system. Desperate for a way out, she forms a parasocial relationship with an influencer couple and hatches an improbable scheme: to befriend their adopted seven-year-old daughter Seonyul and ingratiate herself with the family in hopes of being adopted herself. Choi Jongyong's prizewinning feature debut is an unpredictable psychological thriller like no other, anchored by a pair of remarkable child performers and a singularly strange onscreen dynamic. - Josh Martin, Special Programs & Feature Film Programmer
