RETURN TO SEOUL
Born
in South Korea and raised in France by adoptive parents, Frédérique, a.k.a.
Freddie (Ji-min Park), is an unyielding 25-year-old in search of answers.
Unfamiliar with her native language or the intricacies of Korean culture, she
spontaneously travels “home” to connect with her biological parents, and
experience the country of her birth. Cambodian-French filmmaker Davy Chou
elegantly probes the psychology of a character whose feelings of not belonging
have kept her at an emotional distance from nearly everyone in her life.
(Cambodia, 2022, 118min., In French & Korean
with English subtitles, R | Dir. Davy Chou)
