Children...

Children draws on South Korea's still unsolved 1991 "Frog Boys of Daegu" case: on March 26, local election day, five schoolboys went up a mountainside to catch frogs and were never seen again, with the search delayed because police were occupied guarding polling stations that day. The case went cold for over a decade until a hiker discovered remains in 2002, and forensics confirmed murder, but the killer was never identified. The film follows a documentary producer, a detective, and a professor trying to crack the case anew, while one of the missing boys' own parents becomes a suspect. Who it's for: fans of Korean crime dramas rooted in real, still unresolved cases and interested in institutional negligence. Who it's not for: viewers who need a definitive resolution or a moment of justice, since the film preserves the real case's open ended, unsettled nature.
