GANJEUNG

Park Duk-joon is an old man living by himself. Every night, he suffers from attacks of insomnia brought on by disturbing flashes from his dark past. He tries in vain to pray and find solace in religion. One day his only friend, Mrs Lee, invites him to listen to hear a confession in church and the man reluctantly accepts. Instead, his encounter with Lim Gwang-han is completely unexpected, because the man was his boss thirty years earlier, when they both worked in the police department and were specialized in interrogations. 

“This film was taken from reality but it is fantasy. No torturer in this world would say he has no right to be forgiven. The means always shifts the blame over to the end. There are men like that in this world. I’ve seen them testify, and I’ve attempted to accurately portray what I’ve seen in this film. [...] This film does not attempt to say God does not exist. Rather, it speaks of doubt and fear that even if there is a God, he may not be in this world. This confession may be outdated, useless, or belated in this society we live in, but I still believe this doubt must continue on. That is the duty of all doubters.”
