The Cowichan Hospice Society presents

Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters) directs this beautifully crafted and achingly touching crowd-pleaser about an unconventional family formed under the strangest of circumstances. Making an effortless transition from Japan to Korea, Kore-eda revisits themes dear to him — forsaken childhood, adoption, and broken families are at the narrative core of undisputed masterpieces such as Nobody Knows (TIFF ‘04), Like Father Like Son (TIFF ’13), and Shoplifters (TIFF ’18). Without forcefulness or rhetoric, Kore-eda looks directly at life and creates a small, unconventional family universe. Broker is a film filled with moments of wonder and powerful emotion.
