Spoilers ahead

Following a personal scandal involving homosexuality, police academy instructor Yeong-nam, Bae Doona, is transferred from Seoul to take office as the chief of the police substation in the quiet seaside town of Yeosu. She keeps a low profile and endures the locals’ drunken excesses, yet she drinks heavily at home, decanting soju into water bottles.

In this sunlit, harbor-side setting, Yeong-nam encounters Sun Do-hee, a timid and withdrawn 14-year-old girl covered with cuts and bruises. Do-hee is bullied by classmates and beaten by both her drunk stepfather Yong-ha, Song Sae-byuk, and a drunken grandmother; her biological mother has abandoned them. The locals stay silent about Yong-ha’s abuses, since he is the town’s main employer, an oyster farmer.
