Synopsis

Two Danish-Korean adoptees return to the country where they were born. Intrigued by their motherland and confronted with personal stories of the fellow adoptees they meet, Karoline and Thomas are hurled into a disorienting journey that forces them to question their destiny and identity.

MUBI's take

A subtle, glitchy approach to form questions the perceived realities of documentary and fiction filmmaking in this dislocating work from Marlene Choi. Seong In-ja is mesmerizing in her heartbreaking climactic scene, playing a mother whose restless downward gaze belies a lifetime of hope and shame.
