Synopsis
Slip into the shoes of a South Korean woman and immerse yourself in her memories — those of a time, as a child, when she disobeyed her mother and crossed the border of the Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas, hoping to find her father held in the North.
A remarkable adventure awaits her in this place, both paradise and nightmare, where she will encounter strange birds, as well as traces of battles just waiting to resurface… Will she manage to find her father?
An initiatory tale that invites us to rediscover a child’s gaze.
