Featured review
A doctor becomes obsessed with the case of a dead woman after learning that she had rung her doorbell seeking help shortly before her death.
As the clinic is closing, a patient arrives after hours and begins ringing the bell frantically. The intern wants to let her in, but Jenny, the doctor, refuses, citing the need to avoid being overwhelmed by seeing patients outside of working hours. In reality, Jenny just wants to leave and start her new life. This moment of cold indifference ends up costing her dearly when a young immigrant prostitute is found dead, with a blow to the head. Security footage reveals that the woman, whose identity remains a mystery to the police, was the same one who had been desperately trying to enter the clinic that night.
Seeking redemption, Jenny embarks on a mission to uncover the young woman's identity and learn what happened to her.
The story is quiet yet brimming with intensity, not due to dramatic force or complex plot twists, but through the sheer authenticity of the performances.
