DECEMBER 10 – THE
CONCUBINE (2012, 122 min)
Poverty-stricken Hwa-yeon decides to offer
herself up as one of the king’s concubines. But once inside the royal palace,
her life becomes a riveting quest for survival as two men become wildly obsessed
with her. On one side is the Grand Prince Seong-won, a megalomaniacal ruler
drunk with power and lust; and on the other, Kwon-yoo, who has everything to
lose if his desire for Hwa-yeon is exposed. As action and political intrigue
infiltrate this daring love triangle, the king’s palace becomes a hellish prison
– filled with overwhelming passion and obsession that these three troubled souls
will be lucky to escape from.
