Min Seo, a 17 year old rebellious high school Korean girl, lives in a small apartment with her mother and her mother's penniless lover. She hates her mother's lover and doesn't understand both of them. Karim, a 29 year old Muslim migrant worker from Bangladesh has to leave Korea in a month. Before departing, he is desperately searching for his ex-boss to receive his unpaid salary. One day, Min Seo finds a missing wallet but is caught by the owner, Karim from Bangladesh. She tries to dissuade him from reporting her to the police by offering to grant him a favor, and reluctantly agrees to help track down his former boss who owes him one year's pay. Bandhobi is Bengali, meaning of "Friend" in English. Edit Translation

It was the Bangla content (and Baek Jin Hee) that made me want to check this out, and I'm glad I did. A realistic and therefore pretty downbeat look at the life of an immigrant worker in a VERY homogeneous society, it was the sights and sounds of a culture I am a little more familiar with that made this an enjoyable watch for me. Not a pretty film, and not particularly fun to watch, the highlight came at the very end, watching a Korean eating desi food the way it's MEANT to be eaten - with the fingers :)
