Synopsis

A new school teacher is overwhelmed by problems in the classroom, including the realization that one of his students is being abused at home. A single mother who was abused as a child now violently lashes out on her own daughter. A lonely older woman befriends an autistic boy whose mother is constantly apologizing for his existence. Following the critical success of The Light Shines Only There, director Mipo O brings another emotionally incisive, Hokkaido-set ensemble drama about isolation, trauma and what it means to be good.
