After Han is released from juvenile prison, where he served seven years for killing an opponent in a fencing match, he meets his younger brother and insists on his innocence. Jie believes him, and the torn brotherly bond begins to heal. Behind their mother’s back, Han helps Jie perfect his fencing skills so that he can qualify for the national championships. But the initially energetic clinking of sabres is slowly drowned out by silent doubts: is Han really innocent? Nelicia Low’s gripping atmospheric thriller offers a nerve-wracking duel between the ideals of brotherly love and the illusions that we project onto those close to us.

(KVIFF 2024) In her directorial debut, Nelicia Low tells a story of brotherly love, the search for truth, healing old wounds, and creating new ones. Not only the characters, but also the viewer is searching for answers, and the truth is neither black and white nor clear-cut. I commend the restrained acting by Asian standards, which contributed to the authenticity of the narrative and gave rise to a believable story with layered characters of two different brothers. The very end of the film was unexpected and to some extent less understandable for me, but at least it gives you something to think about.
