A prince’s fate sealed by his father’s judgment.

A powerful historical drama portraying the tragic relationship between King Yeongjo and his son, Crown Prince Sado. When court politics and generational conflicts come to a head, the young prince is condemned to a slow and painful death in a rice chest. A deeply emotional and visually stunning film that explores duty, family, and the harsh realities of absolute monarchy.

What a proud and unapologetic masterpiece this is.
