A TALE OF TWO SISTERS SOUTH KOREA, South Korean filmmaker Kim Jee-Woon directs the psychological thriller Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters), loosely based on an oft-filmed Korean folktale. Following the suicide of his wife, Mu-Hyun (Kim Gab-su) takes his two daughters out of hospitalization to stay in a remote country home with their stepmother, Eun-joo (Yeom Jeong-ah).
Elder sister Su-mi (Im Su-Jung) is mean to her stepmother, while younger sister Su-yeon (Mun Geun-Yeong) is mostly silent. After a series of creepy disturbances, Eun-joo locks Su-yeon in the closet, which enrages Su-mi even more. When Mu-Hyun goes into town, Su-mi finally confronts her stepmother in a painfully revealing fight.
