Return to Seoul

25 year old Freddie has grown up in France, but is now returning to the country she was born for the first time. This leads to a demanding journey into her own identity and rootlessness.

The film is subtitled in Norwegian. 

French-Cambodian Davy Chou premiered Return to Seoul in the prestigious Un certain regard section in Cannes earlier this year. The film wonderfully portrays, with rare sensibility, the rootlessness early adoption can lead to.

25 year old Freddie is a young independent woman born in South Korea, but grown up with French adoptive parents in Paris. She is tough, almost a bit cynical, in her approach to others, and never declines a good party. When she impulsively decides to change her trip to Tokyo to Seoul, and is suddenly back in her home country for the first time after her adoption, it triggers a drive to find out more about her origin.
