The film is about a young woman, who is adopted and quite a tomboy and a bitch, who gets 'ended up' in South Korea and then goes looking for her biological parents. As with all things, she doesn't take this very seriously, but as you would expect, it gets more and more serious. However, this also makes the film more boring: the nicest and most exciting scenes are those in which she “shits on everything”. The seriousness does culminate in a moving scene: the film does make you feel that adoption does not make a child feel cold (even if she apparently gives a shit about everything) and that it damages a child (even if her foster parents are okay with it). have taken care of).

Fascinating film about adoption, but also about alienation and identity. A nice contrast to programs like Spoorloos.

Based on real experiences, where the protagonist has contributed to the fact that it is actually told from the female perspective of the adoptee instead of a male perspective around it.

It's 2014 and Freddie Benoit [Park Ji-min] is unable to vacation in Japan due to a typhoon. Instead, she moves to Seoul, the city where she was born and adopted by a French family. On the advice of Tena [Guka Han], Freddie takes the opportunity to visit the adoption agency to find out who her parents are. Quietly flowing drama about how a changing perception of your identity can affect your personality, takes place in a period of almost 8 years in which new developments or discoveries change that perception. An interesting fact and directed with a sense of place and atmosphere, but the story is not developed enough to move or fascinate endlessly.
