Parasite

Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street
smarts but not much else. When these two households are brought together, by chance or fate, the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families.

The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their
entire household. When the discovery of a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.

By turns darkly hilarious and heart-wrenching, Parasite in this pitch-black modern fairytale that showcases the modern master Bong Joon Ho at the top of his game.
