The police and the press head to the landfill where Min-ah was found expecting to meet Sun-young and her hostage.
"Orora Gongju" a.k.a. Princess Aurora is another great Korean movie of revenge of a mother. The story is very well constructed, with an excellent screenplay that discloses the plot like a puzzle like most of the Korean films. The story begins with a serial-killer murdering people apparently without any connection but in the end there is an explanation for each death. The direction and the performances are also top-notch. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Princesa Aurora" ("Princess Aurora")
