(Special Screening) Broker - A Drama Movie with Lovely Story and Some Strong Performances from the Cast

It was another one of those times where my wife got the invitation to the special screening of an upcoming movie. This time it was a South Korean movie selected to compete in the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. My wife and I were really excited as we got the chance to see it before its official release in the Indonesian cinemas. OK, I'll get to it then. 

Brief Story Line

Dong-soo (Gang Dong-won - Train to Busan: Peninsula, A Violent Prosecutor etc) was working in a church which was frequently used as a place where mothers gave up their unwanted babies inside a box there, hoping for them to be raised by the church. Together with his partner Sang-hyun (Song Kang-ho - Parasite, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance etc), sometimes they would act as broker and sell the babies to other people. However, their business was disrupted when a young woman later revealed to be So-young (Lee Ji-eun - My Mister TV series, Hotel del Luna TV series etc) put her baby in the box only to regret and decided to "reclaim" him.
