Return to Seoul

Why we chose it

Park Ji-min, a visual artist who had never been in front of a camera, is extraordinary in the lead. The film goes back to 2011, when the director travelled to Korea with a friend adopted from there and was at her side as she met her biological father, and ten years later it made it to Cannes.

Synopsis

A cancelled flight lands Freddie, twenty-five and French, in Seoul, the city where she was born and given up for adoption when she was a few months old. Within days she is sitting in an adoption agency, set on tracking down the two people who gave her away. One of them writes back.
