Philip is very successful. Everything in his life happens according to his plan. He is a brilliant lawyer, winning all hopeless cases thanks to his informal connections with supreme authorities. He is also happy in his private life: his virtuous wife and two adopted twin siblings love and admire him. One day, that harmony crumbles. A force major arises on his way to the perfect future. Suddenly, his children are found to have a severe genetic disease that they inherited from one of their biological parents. It means they both will soon become disabled. What will he do? Will he accept this circumstance and bury his plans for a perfect life. Or, will he defy this destiny and castle the pieces on the chessboard to reverse the game's course in his favor? How many figures will he sacrifice before he realizes he himself is a pawn in someone's higher-level game?
Despite its aggressiveness, the Beef anthology series is about romantic love in all its forms. The final scene of the first season led us to believe that, despite the conflict, drama, and toxic traits, the main characters would end up together and, most likely, live happily ever after. The whole “beef” plot was the prelude to their love story.
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't.

The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
The live-action remake of the classic Disney film based on a wooden puppet is finally here.
