Korean International Adoption Film to be Shown at Busan International Film Festival

Bobby stars Lee Chun-hee and Kim Sae-ron. This film is described as a “highly anticipated work that delves into the reality of a South Korea that sends its children overseas for adoption.”

It will be showcased at the largest Asian film festival, Busan International Film Festival which runs from October 6 through October 14, 2011.

This article describes the plot in more depth. “The movie touches on the issue of international adoptions, with Lee Chun-hee’s character, Uncle Mang-taek, working as an adoption broker with visions of getting rich quick. He sounds like a rough character to like, as Mang-taek makes the very bold move of trying to adopt out his own niece to the U.S., in what is described as a “provocative acting transformation” for Lee.”
