Bro­ker focus­es on a found fam­i­ly of grifters with hearts of gold who set off on a road trip across South Korea with the police hot on their tail.

We’re big fans of Hirokazu Koree­da here at Lit­tle White Lies, and his lat­est dram­e­dy Bro­ker is no excep­tion. Song Kang-ho stars as Ha Sang-hyeon, a laun­drette own­er who has a shady side busi­ness: togeth­er with his part­ner Dong-soo (Gang Dong-won) they occa­sion­al­ly steal infants left in a local church baby box and sell them to cou­ples look­ing to adopt a child. Their oper­a­tion is threat­ened when new moth­er Moon So-young (Lee Ji-eun) returns after leav­ing her baby and catch­es onto their scheme. Togeth­er they set off on a road trip to inter­view prospec­tive par­ents for Moon’s baby, with detec­tive Soo-jin (Bae Doona) hot on their tail.

What sounds like the premise for a crime thriller is, in fact, a mas­ter­ful­ly-exe­cut­ed com­e­dy-dra­ma in Koreeda’s hands, inves­ti­gat­ing the pres­sure of moth­er­hood, soci­etal inequal­i­ty, and what tru­ly makes a fam­i­ly. To cel­e­brate the forth­com­ing UK and Irish release of Bro­ker, we’re excit­ed to launch Picturehouse’s exclu­sive illus­trat­ed poster for the film by Klaus Krem­merz, which cap­tures key moments in lov­ing detail.
