Movie Description Acclaimed Korean director Kim Ki-Duk (SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER...AND SPRING) helms the redemption drama SAMARITAN GIRL. Two teenage girls, Yeo-jin and Jae-yeong, decide to fund their escape to Europe through prostitution, with the former conducting the business and the latter "entertaining" the clientele. But when Jae-yeong suffers the consequences of their actions, Yeo-jin embarks on a quest to redeem herself by tracking down their former clients one by one to replicate the earlier transactions. But when her father discovers what Yeo-jin has been doing, he snaps and decides to avenge his daughter's innocence. Director Ki-Duk was awarded the Best Director prize at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival.
