How to Watch Broker?: With “Parasite” and “Okja” garnering applause worldwide, interest in Korean Cinema has been on a constant rise. Making frequent rounds in the headlines is 2022 Cannes Festival’s Ecumenical Jury Award winner “Broker”. Directed by renowned Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-Eda, this film is about two brokers who start a sort of illegal business of stealing babies from church’s baby boxes and then using black market adoption to sell them to rich parents who need babies.
The film follows Ha Sang Hyeon, a laundry owner who starts this illegal adoption business with his friend Dong Soo who works at the church. They steal babies and delete the evidence of the baby ever being dropped at the church. Using black market adoption for desperate and wealthy families, they sell babies. But the business takes a different turn when one day the brokers are visited by a young mother So Young. She had abandoned her child at the church and now wanted to make sure the new parents are loving to her baby. Somehow she finds the brokers and they go on a road trip to find the baby’s new parents. Also, there are two detectives, Lee and Soo JIn tracking and following them throughout the journey.
