Choi Jong-ryul
Memories of Murder
Året er 1986. Et lite samfunn på den koreanske landsbygda rystes av en serie stygge voldtektsdrap. En lokal politimann og en etterforsker fra storbyen blir satt til å etterforske saken, og må ty til desperate og til tider brutale midler. På samme tid vokser ryktene om en seriemorder seg sterkere. Mordmysteriet styrer filmen, i en fortelling som like mye blir en beskrivelse av menneskene hvis forbannelse det blir å vente på neste mord i håp om å komme nærmere en løsning.
