Theatrical release: ‘Broker’

By   |  Feb 13, 2023

Picturehouse are bringing the 2022 South Korean drama ‘Broker’ (브로커) to selected UK and Irish cinemas from February 24, 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: Sang-hyun (Song Kang-Ho) runs a laundry shop, but is constantly saddled with debt. Dong-soo (Gang 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, police detective Su-jin (Bae Doo-Na) 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.
