English Summary:

Lady Vengeance (Korean: 친절한 금자씨; RR: Chinjeolhan geumjassi; lit. "Kind-hearted Geum-ja"; titled Sympathy for Lady Vengeance in Australia) is a 2005 South Korean psychological thriller film directed by Park Chan-wook. The film is the third installment in Park's Vengeance Trilogy, following Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and Oldboy (2003). It stars Lee Young-ae as Lee Geum-ja, a woman released from prison after serving the sentence for a murder she did not commit. The film tells her story of revenge against the real murderer. 

A Christian musical procession waits with a symbolic block of tofu outside a prison for the release of Lee Geum-ja (Lee Young-ae), a recently reformed female prisoner. Convicted of kidnapping and murdering a 5-year-old schoolboy, Won-mo, 13 years earlier, Geum-ja became a national sensation because of her young age, angelic appearance, and eager confession to the crime. However, she became an inspirational model for prisoner reform during her incarceration, and her apparent spiritual transformation in prison earned her an early release on her sentence. Free, Geum-ja is now intent on revenge.

Donning blood-red eye shadow and cutting off her little finger, Geum-ja quickly shows that her "kind-hearted" behavior in prison was a cover to earn favor and further her intricate revenge plans. Once paroled, Geum-Ja visits the other paroled inmates, calling in favors that include food, shelter, and weapons. She also begins work in a pastry shop and starts an affair with the shop assistant, Geun-Shik, who would be the same age as the murdered schoolboy Won-mo, had he lived.

Hungarian Summary:

Lee Geum-ját tizenhárom év börtönre ítélték egy hatéves kisfiú elrablásának és meggyilkolásának bizonyítatlan vádja miatt. Az egyszerre gyermekien naiv és ördögien bölcs Geum-ja nem sok időt pazarol arra, hogy belopja magát a többi rab szívébe. A stricijét megfojtó volt prostituálttól az idős észak-koreai kémnőig minden egyes cellatársban csupán eszközt lát ahhoz az aprólékosan kidolgozott, rafinált bosszútervhez, amelyet szabadulása utánra tartogat.
