In the organizer's words:

My Daughter is a Zombie

The GAR virus is defeated: Korea is zombie-free again! Almost. Because somewhere, 15-year-old Soo-ah, the country's last undead, is still gurgling, drooling and nibbling. Her father firmly believes that she will become the cheerful teenager she used to be. The authorities, however, would rather shoot than heal. Together with his resolute grandmother, he defends his zombie daughter against informers and purge squads - and his fellow human beings against her occasional ravenous hunger attacks.

The audience award and six nominations at the Korean film prize Blue Dragon Award (including for film, director and actors) and its status as the most successful Korean film of 2025 leave no doubt: this quirky webcomic adaptation hits more than just one nerve! This is due to the lovingly drawn and acted characters as well as the myriad of wacky ideas - or have you ever seen a moonwalking zoo tiger? Exactly. This "family" movie has bite and a heart that beats surprisingly warmly despite its modern smell.

The GAR virus has been defeated: Korea is finally zombie-free! Almost. Since out there, the 15-year-old Soo-ah is still gurgling, drooling, and nibbling away - the last undead person in the country. Her father firmly believes that she will someday return to being the cheerful teenager she once was. The authorities, however, prefer shooting to healing. Together with her grandma, he defends the teen zombie girl against informers and cleanup squads - and protects other people from her occasional hunger attacks.

An audience award, six nominations at the Korean Blue Dragon Awards (including best film, best director, and performances), and its status as Korea's most successful film of 2025 speak for themselves: this quirky webtoon adaptation hits the jackpot! That's thanks to its compelling characters as much as to its countless crazy ideas - or have you ever seen a moonwalking zoo tiger? Exactly. This "family" movie has bite, and a heart that beats surprisingly warm despite the whiff of decay.
