Montage (Korean: 몽타주) is a 2013 South Korean crime thriller film starring Uhm Jung-hwa, Kim Sang-kyung, and Song Young-chang.[1][2][3][4][5] The movie was remade in India as Te3n in 2016,[6] and in China as The Guilty Ones in 2019.[7]
A kidnapper disappeared 15 years ago without a trace, leaving behind his dead victim, Seo-jin. Five days before the case's statute of limitations expires, someone is found anonymously leaving a flower at the crime scene. A few days later, another kidnapping takes place using the same method on a similar target. Police team up to solve the case before it's too late as in the previous case. A detective from the previous case (Kim Sang-kyung) is consulted, and he confirms it is a similar MO.
Later, it turns out that the child's grandfather, Han (Song Young-chang), was the perpetrator of the first kidnapping. This was discovered by the mother (Uhm Jung-hwa), so she kidnaps his granddaughter using the same MO. She thought that, by making the culprit go through what she's been through, it would make him confess to his crime. The detectives find out, confront Han and it is revealed that the reason for his kidnapping 15 years ago was to collect ransom money to pay for his daughter's heart surgery. Seo-jin's death turned out to be an accident; she fell to her death after trying to escape from Han. He confesses to his crime and is sentenced to prison for 15 years. Everyone involved in the long-unsolved case finds closure.[8][9]
