Transplant

A motivated surgical resident pushes himself to extreme lengths while training under a legendary heart transplant surgeon obsessed with protecting his perfect reputation in this thrilling psychological drama.

Like the medical world version of Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash, Transplant is about a mentor-mentee relationship that gets pushed to dangerous levels. Filmmaker Jason Park tackles themes such as ambition — and the way our family dynamics shape that very ambition — and what happens when one’s moral compass collides with ruthless determination. When other people’s lives hang in the balance, how does that affect one’s decisions and actions? The film asks tough questions, while at the same time operating like a fast-paced thriller that consistently keeps the audience on their toes.
