Will curiosity kill the cat, or is "happy ignorance" the biggest lie? A young woman returns to her hometown Paju to investigate her sister’s death and confront her brother-in-law with their mutual unresolved feelings. Paju is located near the demilitarized zone by the North Korean border, and the secrets uncover against a backdrop of demolition and war associations.

Park Chan-ok (b. 1968) is a female director whose first film Jealousy Is My Middle Name (2002) won several prizes, and Paju matches expectations. It is a relational drama with elements of film noir, about 3 women and one homme fatal. Oda Bhar
