Four daughters embark on chaotic revenge after mother's murder

A mother and her three daughters set out on a chaotic revenge mission after the man who murdered their youngest daughter eight years ago is released from prison. The film "Gyeongju Trip" begins with the tragic death of the youngest daughter, Gyeongju, who was abducted and killed during a school trip. When the perpetrator finishes his eight-year prison sentence, the family – mother Ok-sil, eldest daughter Jang-ju, second daughter Yeong-ju, and third daughter Dong-ju – takes matters into their own hands. They travel to Gyeongju, the perpetrator's hometown, and kidnap him, initiating their quest for vengeance.

Despite the grim premise, the film's overall tone is surprisingly lighthearted and humorous. The narrative unfolds with a rhythmic pace, showcasing the family's bumbling and often absurd attempts at murder. The story suggests that a family incapable of even catching a bug would likely be clumsy in their pursuit of homicide. The strength of the film lies in its distinct and quirky characters. As the four daughters clash and collide over their captive, the plot takes unexpected turns, leading to a series of outlandish events.

Director Kim Mi-jo has stated that much of the film mirrors her own life, as she comes from a family of four sisters. This personal connection likely contributes to the authentic portrayal of sisterly dynamics and familial chaos. The film's unique blend of dark tragedy and comedic execution promises a distinctive cinematic experience, exploring themes of grief, family, and the often-unconventional paths to justice.
