An Old Lady follows Hyo-Jeong, a 69-year-old woman who bravely reports a sexual assault by a much younger male nurse, only to face disbelief, prejudice, and legal roadblocks. Despite clear evidence and emotional trauma, she is met with skepticism due to her age, highlighting the societal biases victims often face, especially elderly women. Through quiet defiance and raw vulnerability, Hyo-Jeong chooses not to remain silent, ultimately reclaiming her voice in a society that tried to silence her.
