Azooma 2013 / 공정사회 2013 / Gongjungsahui , Mother Vengeance

Seoul, the present day. Ten-year-old Yeon Joo is picked up outside school by a man who says he knows her mother and is then driven to a flat where she is sexually abused. Six hours later, her mother, Yoon Yeong Nam, reports her disappearance to the police, who say it is too soon to launch a proper investigation. After being found dumped on the street in a suitcase, Yeon Joo is taken to a hospital by Yoon and recovers; however, Yoon's ex-husband, TV celebrity dentist Dr. Lee, is not happy at the adverse publicity Yoon's action has generated. Yoon eventually persuades a busy detective, Ma, to take an interest in the case; he questions Yeon Joo in hospital but the child reveals little. Later, a female police officer questions her, with more success. Angry at the apparent slowness with which the police are treating the case, Yoon tracks down the child molester herself and confronts him at his flat. After a struggle and chase, the police arrive and take both of them in, though en route the child molester escapes. Yoon decides to take more radical action...
