The Bacchus Lady 죽여주는 여자
Produced by the Korean Academy of Film Arts, directed by E J-yong (Untold Scandal 2003), and featuring veteran actress (Youn Yuh-jung), this movie touches the sensitive topic of elderly female prostitution.

So-young (Youn) is a woman in her sixties who offers her services to elderly men in order to pay for her son’s university, inviting them by offering a bottle of an energy drink called Bacchus.

She continues despite having contracted gonorrhea and despite the dwindling health of her costumers. Her life becomes even more complicated after she takes in a young boy (Choi Hyun-jun), whose Filipino mother ended up in jail.
