Logline
The South Korean debut of Japanese master director Hirokazu Kore-eda, with PARASITE star Song Kang-ho in the leading role.
When an infant is left in a baby hatch one rainy night, Sang-hyun and Dong-soo decide to secretly take it home — but the mother, So-young, unexpectedly returns the next day. Although she finds it hard to believe that the two men are looking for suitable parents for the child, she joins them on a journey that will forever change them all. Meanwhile, the police are hot on the heels of the two men, who are not doing this for the first time.
