WINTER IN SOKCHO | HIVER À SOKCHO

FRANCE, SOUTH KOREA | 2024 | COLOR | DCP | 104’ | FRENCH, KOREAN

Winter has brought the calmness back to the coastal Sokcho and young Sooha floats through the off-season routine. But when a French artist rents the guesthouse where she works, the strange attraction that develops between them will take her on a journey of self-discovery. At the same time, the atmospheric landscape of a city surrounded by mountains and sea, on the border between South and North Korea, becomes the perfect setting for a melancholy elegy - an exemplary adaptation of the award-winning bestseller of the same name.
