The Old Woman with the Knife

Based on the acclaimed novel by Gu Byeong-mo, this action-thriller follows Hornclaw, a legendary 65-year-old assassin who has spent four decades professionally eliminating those deemed 'vermin' by her underground organization. As she faces the physical toll of aging and the changing dynamics of the industry, she encounters Bullfight, a young and reckless killer who seeks to surpass her. Her cold, mechanical life is further complicated when she begins to develop rare maternal feelings for a veterinarian and his young daughter, forcing her to decide between her lethal duty and the humanity she has long suppressed. This struggle leads to a violent confrontation where she must sharpen both her blade and her survival instincts.
