SYNOPSIS

Sang-yeon is a confident, competent political reporter who lives a carefully planned out life. After a long wait, she gives birth to twin siblings. However, Ji-woo, the son is diagnosed with a second-degree developmental disability. That’s when things change. Sang-yeon can no longer be the same person, and everything turns upside down.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Blesser started from the last chapter of the book My Underdeveloped Son: ‘For a woman facing her child’s disability’. There are things that only those who have experienced it can tell. I wanted to put the trust, respect, hope and gratitude for those words, in this film."
