Winter in Sokcho

In Sokcho, a small seaside village in South Korea, Soo-Ha, 25, lives in a bit of a rut, rhythmed by visits to her mother, a fishmonger, and her relationship with her boyfriend, Jun-Ho. When a French man named Yan Kerrand arrives in the boarding house where Soo-Ha works, it awakens within her questions about her own identity, and that of her French father, of whom she knows almost nothing. As winter settles over the town, Soo-Ha and Kerrand will observe and gauge each other, trying to communicate.
In het kleine kustdorpje Sokcho, Zuid-Korea, leidt de 25-jarige Soo-Ha haar rustig, maar eentonig leven. Ze zorgt voor haar moeder, die vis verkoopt, en probeert haar relatie met haar vriend Jun-Ho in stand te houden. Alles verandert wanneer Yan Kerrand, een Franse illustrator, aankomt in de hostel waar ze werkt. Hij lijkt niet geïnteresseerd in het Sokcho dat zij zo goed kent: de neonverlichting, het oorlogsverleden en de vismarkt. In zijn poging het authentieke Korea te ontdekken, vergezelt Soo-Ha hem op een dagtocht naar besneeuwde bergtoppen, ruige watervallen en over de grens naar Noord-Korea. Zijn komst brengt een storm van vragen teweeg: over haar identiteit, haar Franse vader die ze nooit heeft gekend, en wat ze eigenlijk wil in het leven. Terwijl de koude winter het dorp bedekt, groeien Soo-Ha en Kerrand naar elkaar toe in een aarzelend, ontwapenend spel van begrip en verbinding. Via zijn blik én zijn tekeningen ontdekt ze een nieuwe kant van haar omgeving en van zichzelf.
A Sokcho, petite ville balnéaire de Corée du Sud, Soo-Ha, 23 ans, mène une vie routinière, entre ses visites à sa mère, marchande de poissons, et sa relation avec son petit ami, Jun-oh. L’arrivée d’un Français, Yan Kerrand, dans la petite pension dans laquelle Soo-Ha travaille, réveille en elle des questions sur sa propre identité et sur son père français dont elle ne sait presque rien. Tandis que l’hiver engourdit la ville, Soo-Ha et Yan Kerrand vont s’observer, se jauger, tenter de communiquer avec leurs propres moyens et tisser un lien fragile.
