Comments

filmbeats Sep 20 2015 6:25 pm Very good drama about a transgender person who gets sent to both male and female prison and gets abused in both in different ways. Based on true events apparently. It's a bit cloying at times but has its heart in the right place. Warning: it has explicit male nudity. Ahn Yong Joon gives a brave and compelling performance. Kim Young-Sun as the conflicted mother gives a heartbreaking performance.
