Blood and Bones

A bleak, character-driven study of a man's moral corruption and descent into cruelty, rooted in displacement and the exploitation of a marginalized community.

In 1923, teenager Kim Shun-Pei moves from Cheju Island, in South Korea, to Osaka, in Japan. Along the years, he becomes a cruel, greedy and violent man and builds a factory of kamaboko, processed seafood products, in his poor Korean-Japanese community exploiting his employees.
