The film is about a prosecutor who fights a long battle to clear his name after being framed for a murder. It is scheduled to be released across Asia later this year.

Ha is interrupting her current shoot on an upcoming medical drama, which starts next week, to fly to Venice on Sept. 6. The festival starts next Wednesday and will end on Sept. 9
