📖 Story
A family clawing their way out of poverty finds unexpected opportunity when they infiltrate the world of Seoul's elite, but Parasite reveals how desperation and ambition become a dangerous game. Each calculated deception, each carefully placed lie, only tightens the grip of a world that was never meant for them. As boundaries blur between employment and exploitation, the film transforms from dark comedy to a searing examination of class and survival.
