The subject line creates a specific demographic: a viewer in the Global South, perhaps, or a member of a diaspora, navigating a digital caste system. They are watching a film about social strata through a technological strata. They cannot afford the price of a ticket, or a subscription, or the high-speed fiber required for 4K streaming. They are the "parasites" of the digital economy, feeding on the crumbs falling from the server tables of the wealthy.

The film follows the struggling Kim family as they gradually infiltrate the wealthy Park family's household by posing as highly qualified workers.

(2019) is a critically acclaimed South Korean dark comedy-thriller directed by Bong Joon-ho that explores themes of social class and greed through the lens of an impoverished family infiltrating a wealthy household.

At its core, the narrative follows two families who live in the same city but in entirely different worlds. The Kim family lives in a cramped semi-basement apartment, struggling to make ends meet by folding pizza boxes and "hitchhiking" on neighbors' Wi-Fi signals. In contrast, the Park family resides in a sprawling, architecturally stunning mansion designed by a world-renowned architect, oblivious to the struggles of those beneath them. The plot is set in motion when the Kim's son, Ki-woo, secures a job as a tutor for the Parks' daughter. One by one, the Kims use manipulation and deceit to replace the Parks' existing staff, infiltrating the wealthy household like "parasites" to secure a steady income and a taste of the high life.
