The film is based on a true yet unsolved murder case from the early 1990s that is known among Koreans as the
“disappearance of the frog children.” In 1991, five elementary school students told their parents that they were
going to hang out on a nearby mountain to catch frogs. They never came back.
In the movie, a TV producer, the devastated parents of the missing children, a professor and a detective all take
different stances on the case and in the end one of the parents becomes a primary suspect. In reality, the case
morphed into a national scandal.
