Kim Hye-soo returns to the big screen two years after “Default” with a hard-hitting mystery thriller “The Day I Died: Unclosed Case” by first-time director Park Ji-wan.
Synopsis
On a dark stormy night, a young witness to her father’s crime disappears on an island leaving her shoes on the cliff and her last will in her house. Due to the bad weather, a body has yet to be found. In the absence of the body, the case cannot be closed, but is simply dismissed as suicide. Detective Hyun-soo heads to the island to investigate the mysterious death of the girl.
Park Ji-wan, who has previously worked as script supervisor on “Haunters” and “Castaway on the Moon”, directs from her own script. Along with Kim Hye-soo, the project stars Lee Jung-eun in her first film role since “Parasite“, Roh Jeung-eui (“Phantom Detective“), Kim Sun-young (“Juror 8“), Lee Sang-yeob (“Ordinary People”) and Moon Jung-hee (“Dark Figure of Crime“). It is pencilled in for a November 12th, 2020 release.
