Hope | Lee Joon-Ik | 2013īased on the infamously tragic Nayoung Case that shook the country in 2008, “Hope” is a devastating film about an idyllic family. Their harmonious lives fall apart when their 8-year-old daughter So-won is beaten, raped, and left for dying.
So-won survives the inhuman brutality, but it leaves a psychological and emotional scar on her and the family.
So-won’s journey in finding herself and getting back to stability would fill you with hope, even if the film never digs deeper into the psychological conundrum she went through.
