Unbowed

You're a mild-mannered math professor, living quietly with your daughter in a small Seoul apartment, until a bureaucratic error strips you of your job and dignity. And then you buy a crossbow. The film unspools like a public record discovered in a drawer years later—typed, signed, chilling in its restraint.
