The movie’s distributor Show Box on Monday revealed the release schedule.

A Show Box official said that the movie attracted the attention of foreign buyers and distributors when it was shown at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in May. 

The movie will also be screened in Asian countries like Taiwan and Japan in September.
