The Hole

Oghi has awoken from a coma after a horrific car accident. His wife has died and Oghi is almost completely paralyzed. With a shattered jaw and damaged vocal cords he's also rendered mute. Eventually discharged from the hospital he finds himself alone in the world with only his mother-in-law to look after him. She's exhausted by the effort but also seems to be harbouring some seething resentment towards Oghi.

It's a claustrophobic story with a bubbling undercurrent of mounting tension told from Oghi's curtailed perspective. This is a Korean revenge drama set to a low simmer.
