Concrete Utopia (2023)
Movie
Released
After an earthquake, one apartment building remains standing amid the devastation of Seoul. Sheltering people immediately becomes a dispute about membership, ownership and the authority to make rules. Concrete Utopia earns its place through residents' meetings and improvised governance as much as through its ruined skyline. Lee Byung-hun gives the emerging leadership a disturbing force. This is the disaster-thriller departure in the selection, best for viewers interested in how communal survival can turn into exclusion under extreme pressure.

It is called Hwang Gung Apartments. As time passes, outsiders start coming in to Hwang Gung Apartments trying to escape the extreme cold. Before long, the apartment residents are unable to cope with the increasing numbers. Feeling a threat to their very survival, the residents enact a special measure.
