For Thursday, the 27th April at 6pm we are screening the brilliant Korean film, Broker.
Our 8pm screening will be the UK documentary, Lancaster.
BROKER
Korea, (English subtitles), 2022, Rated M
From the director of Shoplifters and featuring one of the stars from Parasite, comes the top film from Cannes in 2022, Broker.
Ha Sang is the owner of a laundry and volunteers at the nearby church, where his friend Dong-soo works. They run an illegal business together: Sang-hyeon occasionally steals babies from the church's baby box (where children are left by poor families to be adopted) and Dong-soo deletes the church's surveillance footage that shows a baby was left there. They then sell the babies on the black market to rich couples who can’t have children of their own.
But when a young mother surprises the duo by returning to ensure her baby finds a good home, the three of them end up embarking on a journey together to find the right couple, building an unlikely family of their own along the way.
