Nothing is known about “Parasite” ― award-winning director Bong Joon-ho's new film ― but it will have its world premiere at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival and compete for the Golden Palm prize.

With the release a month away, the film's distributor, CJ Entertainment, released 12 images on Monday, sparking a guessing game among movie goers about its plot and messages the pictures convey.

“Parasite” is Bong's seventh feature film and first Korean-language movie in 10 years. The movie is about a working-class family that gets entangled in an unexpected incident after the son has a chance to access a wealthy, elite world.

Song Kang-ho plays the main role and other cast members include Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong and Jang Hye-jin.
