A dark, grief-stricken thriller about institutional failure and the violence that erupts when systemic cruelty goes unchecked, centered on a mother and daughter's tragedy.
Chen Yutong, a girl's middle school student, was bullied at school, but her mother Li Han was unable to save her daughter from the "hell." Everyone around her turned a blind eye, and a collective silence brewed greater violence.
