The 48th Toronto International Film Festival's Gala Presentations section official selection, 'A Normal Family' (directed by Heo Jin-ho), successfully completed its red carpet and world premiere screening.

'A Normal Family' is a film that tells the story of two brothers with different beliefs who accidentally encounter a terrible secret.
