Alice in Earnestland

Alice in Earnestland () is a 2015 South Korean black comedy film written and directed by Ahn Gooc-jin, in his first feature film. It premiered at the 16th Jeonju International Film Festival where it received the Grand Prize in the Korean Competition; jury member and noted East Asian film critic Tony Rayns praised the film as "Funny, shocking and sometimes cruel, this film has enough invention and energy to take your breath away."

Plot
Soo-nam is a poor woman struggling to pay the hospital bills for her vegetative husband's care, even though her hard work seems to be hopeless. She is suddenly granted the chance for a turnabout when a redevelopment project takes place. When that falls through, Soo-nam discards her honesty and adapts a cold-blooded approach to take revenge on whoever is responsible for her debt-ridden life.
