She´s hiding in the closet, where she thinks she has found some evidence. From her hiding place, she has to assist her nephew´s lovemaking. When the two lovers finally fall asleep on the mattress on the floor, she quietly comes out, holding the evidence in her hand. The camera films from the top. We see her passing next to the two young people, we also look at them from her point of view. We are holding our breath... We gasp! She´s stumbled on a bottle of water. It falls and the water is spilling. The camera films it as it is slowly reaching the fingers of the nephew´s extended arm. It touches his fingertip and we are breathless once again. It doesn´t wake him up. And she´s out of there.
A brilliant south corean film, Mother, by Bong Joon-ho.
