Return to Seoul

Freddie, 25, returns to South Korea for the first time since being born there, before being adopted and raised in France, in order to rediscover her roots. The strong-willed young woman sets out to find her biological parents in a country she knows so little about that it ends up steering her life in new and unexpected directions. Davy Chou shows great sensitivity in dealing with themes such as home, identity, and the clash of different worlds and realities.

“Return to Seoul is a startling and unsettling wonder, a film that feels like a beautiful sketch of a tornado heading straight toward your house.” — The New York Times
