    It is fine to watch
    It is a TV movie and clearly low budget. That is normally fine and even more so here because they do not have any cheesy parts.

    The daughter of a man returns home under mysterious circumstances and does not give a reason why. Her father suspects she is having marital problems, yet she denies this.

    The said daughter is clean (no ink or piercing), slender and has a nice face and delicate features. Her hair is long and feminine. Unfortunately, she doesn't show any skin for some reason and dresses like chairman Mao.

    There are a couple of pretty alm-ond eyed schoolgirls with legs to die for as the husband is a teacher.

    The film is a sad one and the viewers need to be prepared for that.
