The beginning is a bit messy and incoherent, but luckily the script and characters manage to captivate along the way, after which the film is very enjoyable. The plot is a bit wacky (abandoned babies are taken from drop boxes and put up for adoption) and not all aspects of the film work equally well, but director Hirokazu Koreeda (who makes his Korean debut here) and the ever-reliable protagonist Song- Kang Ho gradually manage to make something beautiful out of it.

Sang-hyeon [Song Kang-ho] and Dong-soo [Dong-won Gang] have set up a special company. They place boxes at various locations where mothers can place their newborn child as a foundling, with the certainty that these two entrepreneurs will ensure that the child ends up with a suitable family. Sang-hyeon and Dong-soo believe they are doing everyone a favor by doing so, but that belief is put to the test when So-young [Ji-eun Lee] insists on seeing to it that her own child has a good future. meets. An interesting basic fact that stimulates you to think about the complexity of the subject. Well acted, moreover, but the unbalanced tone and some poorly developed subplots distort the emotional impact.

Koreeda in Korea. And a Koreeda who repeats himself and makes a film for the enthusiasts (like me). Or rather: vintage Koreeda. The film is thematically most similar to Shoplifters and Like Father Like Son and asks some of the same questions (although there are also new angles), but the film regularly ends up in a very nice Koreeda rhythm in which the film mainly thrives on interaction. in the strange family that is being formed. And skims the edge as always but never gets too sentimental. If Koreeda does that, I'm done. And then he can repeat himself many times. Soon I'll catch up with La Verité and I'll be back and I've seen all his fiction films.
