Twenty-five-year-old Freddie, with a French passport and Korean origins, finds herself in Seoul, from where she had left as a baby to be adopted. He doesn’t look for his biological family, but he will eventually find it: that won’t be the end of the journey.
Documentary filmmaker Davy Chou starts from the true story of a friend to build, over 8 years and through ellipses, the path of a young woman in search of the codes to decipher a world (rather than her own identity, a contemporary obsession).
Freddie (non-actress Park Ji-min, actually a visual artist) is irrepressible and in the throes of an emotional chaos that also involves the viewer, splendidly unpleasant and never a victim.
