THE JOURNEY TO GYEONG-JU

When the man responsible for their youngest daughter’s death is suddenly released from prison, a grieving mother, Ok-sil, and her three daughters embark on a revenge-fueled road trip to Gyeongju.

On the surface, it’s a familial pilgrimage, but beneath lies seething grief and wrath. Ok-sil (Lee Jung-eun from PARASITE) leads the journey, her stoic resilience marred by sorrow. Eldest daughter Jang-ju (Gong Hyo-jin) shoulders the burden of caring for her family; second daughter Young-ju (Park So-dam, also in PARASITE), a freshly graduated but unemployed lawyer, wrestles with frustration and helplessness; meanwhile, the youngest daughter, Dong-ju (Lee Yeon), a former wrestler, adds unpredictability to their quest. As they traverse rural landscapes, bonds strain under the weight of their mission, and justice becomes entwined with vengeance.

Blending dark humor with emotional intensity, this road-trip thriller from award-winning director Kim Mi-jo promises to push the limits of love, loss, and retribution.
