Synopsis

Haunted by the videos from his deceased daughter's camcorder, and after receiving a box containing information about the person responsible for her death, a man is resolved to take revenge.

Program Note

A father witnesses his daughter’s death in a terrorist attack. Unable to escape the grief of losing her, he resolves to seek revenge. What is fresh in Resolution is how the father is portrayed as literally trapped within his daughter’s camcorder. The contrast between the protagonist and other characters feels like a daring attempt, which could only be shown in a short film. (Kristin JI)
