An Eye for an Eye

This film is a collection of three distinct stories, each exploring different facets of morality and justice. The first segment follows a detective investigating a peculiar case, the second delves into the complexities of a businessman's life, and the third presents a poignant tale of familial relationships. Across these narratives, the film contemplates the nature of revenge and the consequences of one's actions.
