Death, grief, reconciliation, truth – ‘The Last Child’ tackles a weighty bundle of domestic-drama themes all with maturity and fine-tuned narrative skill.


A middle-aged couple who run a small interior decorating business are grieving the tragic loss of their son Eun-chan, who perished six months ago while saving his friend from drowning in a river.

The husband takes an interest in helping Gi-hyun, the boy who was saved, eventually offering him work in the business, and his wife, though initially reluctant, also comes to embrace him.

But one day, unable to keep up a lie any longer, Gi-hyun reveals what really happened that day by the river.
