Synopsis
"Beasts Clawing at Straws" (2020) — watch online on iFILM — is a Korean crime thriller by debut director Kim Yong-hoon, starring Jeon Do-yeon and Jung Woo-sung. A bag of cash abandoned in a sauna locker sets off a chain of collisions between desperate people who have no idea the money has already wrecked someone else's life.
The film splits into parallel tracks: a sauna worker buried in debt, a hostess trapped with a violent husband, a customs officer whose girlfriend vanished with borrowed money. Their paths converge in ways none of them planned. Kim's non-linear structure keeps the connections hidden just long enough — the full picture snaps into place during the final act.
Cold and precise, with no interest in sorting characters into heroes and villains — just people who made the wrong call at the wrong moment. Stream "Beasts Clawing at Straws" online on iFILM.
