A group of disparate people come together after a troubled young woman leaves a newborn baby in a baby box, but then changes her mind. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Korea-set drama may not feature entirely loveable characters (Song Kang-ho and Gang Dong-won play men who sell babies on the black market), but like the brilliant Shoplifters, it tells a warm and moving story of a makeshift family.
