Korean movie “Broker”, which walked away with the Ecumenical Jury Award for Best Film and the Best Actor Award (Song Kang Ho) at the recent 2022 Cannes Film Festival—will be coming to Singapore theatres this June.

A group of actors that crosses generations, from leading stars Song Kang Ho, Kang Dong Won and Doona Bae, to K-Pop superstar Lee Ji Eun (IU) and Lee Joo Young, all join together in the journey at the center of “Broker”. This also marks director’s Hirokazu Kore-Eda’s first Korean film, which is also his first film in 3 years. Shot with leading Korean actors and crew, this collaboration will move viewers’ hearts with a story that transcends language and culture.

Synopsis

Sang-hyun (Song Kang Ho) runs a laundry shop, but is constantly saddled with debt. Dong-soo (Kang Dong Won), who grew up in an orphanage, works in a baby box facility.

One night in the pouring rain, they secretly carry off an infant who was left at the baby box. But on the following day, the mother So-young (Lee Ji Eun) unexpectedly returns for her son Woo-sung. Realizing that her baby has been taken, she is about to call the police when the two men tell her everything. Their claim that they stole the baby in order to find him a good home seems outrageous, but So-young ends up joining Sang-hyun and Dong-soo on a journey to find new parents for Woo-sung.

Meanwhile, the police detective Su-jin (Doona Bae) and her younger colleague Detective Lee (Lee Joo Young) are witnessing all of this as it unfolds. They silently tail the group, hoping to catch them in the act at all costs to wrap up their half-year investigation.

Korean movie “Broker” screens in Singapore cinemas 23 June 2022, with sneaks from 17 to 19 June 2022.
