Bandhobi (2009) NTSC DVD9 (OOP)
===========================

Plot or synopsis:
Acclaimed indie director Shin Dong Il follows Host and Guest and My Friend and His Wife with the cross-cultural 
drama Bandhobi. The word "Bandhobi" means "friend" in Bengali, and true to its title, the film depicts an unlikely 
friendship that develops between a Muslim migrant and a Korean schoolgirl. Spunky newcomer Baek Jin Hee and 
Bangladeshi actor Mahbub Alam Pollob, who also appeared in the Korean indie Where is Ronny, make a charming 
pair of accidental companions in this humanist urban drama about the common journey shared by two uncommon 
friends. Also co-starring Lee Il Hwa (Romantic Island), Bandhobi provides a realistic and sensitive cross-section of 
Korean society through the growing pains of a teenage girl, and the experiences of a foreign laborer. 
Bangladeshi migrant worker Karim (Mahbub Alam Pollob) came to Korea in hopes of a better life, but everyday he 
is faced with discrimination, misunderstandings, and cultural barriers. He's leaving Korea in a month, but before that 
he has to find his unscrupulous ex-boss to claim his rightful pay. Mouthy, rebellious teen Min Seo (Baek Jin Hee) 
hates living with her single mother and her deadbeat lover in a cramped apartment. She starts working in a massage 
parlor to save up money to attend an English academy. One day these two young people from different worlds cross 
paths... (taken from Yesasia)
