The mother passed away right after delivering their baby sister and the father has been suffering from the aftermath of a car accident for a long time. After the father has been sent to a nursing home due to worsened symptoms, the siblings were left alone in their small house. Despite the oldest sister, Ha Eun’s hard work to survive with her siblings, the village people decided it was too tough for her to continue her struggles alone and they found an orphanage for them. The four sisters went to see their father at the nursing home before they are sent to an orphanage and their father asked them not to be separated from each other no matter what. However, on their way back to their house, they are kidnapped by a strange woman and are sold into slavery as beggars. The numerous people who pass by the young siblings in the subway cannot understand their sorrowful and desperate eyes. Will they be rescued from the cruel reality and by whom?

Reviews
Why God?
There is a famous old Korean movie with the same title from 1977, so this is some sort of remake or reimagining of the story. From the very beginning, it’s clear that this is an amateur film because none of the actors really know how to act, and there are a lot of them. That said, it’s commendable that they are dedicated to their roles and fully immersed in them. From a production standpoint, you can see that the people involved really tried to make everything look convincing. There are plenty of shots and a lot of details.The child actors, who carry the main story, deserve special praise.
The story itself is beautiful and inspiring, but unfortunately it lacks a bit of tact in its narrative development. Some scenes are too long, some are unnecessary, and some are poorly integrated into the whole. The prayer scene and the conversation with the priest were particularly interesting to me. It doesn’t provide a solution, but it adds some depth to the story. What I liked most, however, was the music — both the melancholic instrumental pieces and the song about the mother who is no longer there.
