By Phil Mills | May 30, 2023
Picturehouse Entertainment are bringing the 2022 South Korean drama ‘Broker’ (브로커) to UK Blu-ray and DVD on June 5, 2023.
Written and directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, the film revolves around a pair of men who decide to help a child left in the ‘Baby Box’, a space for parents who cannot raise children to leave their babies anonymously. The cast includes Song Kang-Ho, Gang Dong-Won, Bae Doo-Na, Lee Ji-Eun, and Lee Joo-Young.
Synopsis: On a rainy night in Busan, So-young (Lee Ji-Eun) leaves her baby Woo-sung outside a ‘baby box’, a safe place set up in Korean churches for new mothers to leave unwanted infants. Instead, he’s picked up by Sang-hyun (Song Kang-Ho) who runs an unofficial adoption brokerage and plans to find him a new home. So-young tracks down both Sang-hyun and his business partner Dong-soo (Gang Dong-Won) and decides to join their pursuit (alongside a seven-year-old stowaway from a nearby orphanage), but as they search for Woo-sung’s new family, the unlikely group evolves into something of a family themselves – unaware they’re being tailed by two detectives (Bae Doo-Na, Lee Joo-Young) who are determined to stop them.
