Carl, 19, lives a quiet life in the Danish countryside with his adoptive parents, who expect him to take over the family farm one day, continuing their traditions. But Carl begins to feel the pull of two worlds —‘home’ plus his native homeland, South Korea— and the day is fast approaching when he will have to choose.

Malene Choi

Born in 1973, she was adopted from South Korea and grew up in Denmark. In 2005, she graduated from the National Film School of Denmark’s documentary programme as a director.

Later, it has been screened at several festivals around the world, winning the Fipresci Prize - Special Mention at the Gothenburg Film Festival or the Best Film Award of Meeting Point Competition at the Valladolid International Film Festival, among others.
