Wanting to reconnect with her origins, 25-year-old Freddie (Park Ji Min) impulsively returns to her birthplace of South Korea for the first time since she was adopted and raised in France. Freddie begins to track down her biological parents, embarking on an unexpected journey in a country she knows little about.
Winner of Best Film (International Competition) at 2022 Belfast Film Festival.
“Vivid colours and a tetchy, vibrant score buoy the film along as it twists and turns throughout Freddie’s life, never loosening its grip on the stubborn defensiveness that colours her identity.” - Ella Kemp, Little White Lies
