The best things in life are for free. By “best things in life,” I mean a screening of Bong Joon-ho’s Mother movie in LA on Tuesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. Oh, but Jinra, nothing in life is for free! Wrong. If you’re in LA and want to watch Mother before it officially hits theaters next month, you may want to consider the following details.

Synopsis: Hye-ja is a single mom to 27-year-old Do-joon. Her son is her raison d’être. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is naïve and dependent on his mother, and a constant source of anxiety, often behaving in ways that are foolish or simply dangerous. Walking home alone one night down a nearly empty city street, he encounters a young girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. Thanks to an inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force, Do-joon’s case is quickly closed, but his mother refuses to let this be the end of the story. Trusting no one, Hye-ja’s maternal instincts kick into overdrive, and she sets out to find the girl’s killer and prove her son’s innocence.
