Synopsis
In Sokcho, a small seaside town on the South Korean border, 23-year-old Soo-Ha leads a dull, routine life. The arrival of a Frenchman in the boarding house where she works awakens questions about her own identity and about her French father, of whom she knows almost nothing. A sensitive, subtle and melancholy debut film of unsettling beauty.
