Storyline

Do-il (Kim Jin-geun) and his wife, Mi-sook (Shim Hye-jin), desperately want to have a child, but have had no luck in conceiving. So they decide to adopt a six-year-old boy, Jin-seong (Mun Woo-bin), and bring him into their home. The young orphan is strangely quiet, paints eerie pictures and spends most of his time beneath the family's acacia tree. When Mi-sook unexpectedly becomes pregnant, their quiet family home is disturbed by a spate of bizarre supernatural phenomena.

Some variety of acacia are also known as being spiny and this film is certainly no smooth, care-free affair.
