The murder of three pupils has rocked Jing Mu High School. The only witness is Tong, a mute student who is also a victim of the trio’s bullying. When Tong is taken by the killer, her mother will stop at nothing to save Tong and to protect a secret she has been harbouring. An ambitious venture exploring bullying, abuse and religious beliefs, this suspense thriller about the price of complicit silence showcases young director Sam Quah’s remarkable talent in building a chilling atmosphere while juggling a knotty narrative that carries surprising emotional weight by its shocking conclusion.
