Event Description
BROKER

Five years after winning the Palme d’Or for Shoplifters, Academy Award nominated filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda returns with Broker, starring Cannes Best actor winner Song Kang Ho (Parasite). The film follows two baby “brokers” who sell orphaned infants, circumventing the bureaucracy of legal adoption, to affluent couples who can’t have children of their own. One evening, a young mother drops her newborn infant off in a “baby box” and disappears into the night.  The brokers quickly begin making plans to sell the baby. But the abandoned infant’s mother surprises the duo by returning, wanting to make sure that her child finds a good home. The three of them embark on a journey together to find the right couple to adopt the baby. Unbeknownst to them, two detectives are following their every move, hoping to catch the brokers engaging in their illegal adoption efforts. In keeping with Kore-eda’s other films (Like Father Like Son, MFF 2013), family is at the heart of Brokers – only this time, the family is a makeshift and unlikely one, consisting of two baby brokers, a young mother seeking a better life for her child, and an innocent baby.
