An old man and a young woman in shabby clothes enter an abandoned motel in a deserted town. It is only after a while that we realize that they are a father and his developmentally disabled daughter, and that the two of them live their lives searching for empty houses where they can stay. In The Berefts, the situation always comes first and the facts second. When the father and daughter are sitting across from a young man in a humble office, the nature of their conspiracy and relationship is also revealed only after a while. We get lost between the events that come first and the facts that come later only to sink in heartbreaking sadness. The doubts, questions, and twists in the intervals are not an elaborate narrative technique, but a reflection of the characters’ fate. The audience is kept on the edge of their seats throughout the movie, and yet the movie is calm and solemn to the end. (Busan International Film Festival)
