Friend: The Great Legacy

You're a man serving time for a crime tied to a dead friend's name, and then you meet his son behind bars, silent on who you really are. The two of you forge a pact to rise up once free. In the end it’s not violence that breaks the bond but a single revealed truth. The film moves like a 90s Korean thriller, rough-edged and lean, leaving silence heavier than any score.
