Une vie toute neuve



Ounie Lecomte : 2009
Yeo-haeng-ja

Seoul, 1975. Nine-year-old Jinhee's father has placed her in an orphanage run by Catholic nuns. He leaves her there never to return but Jinhee desperately believes he will come back for her and take her on a trip. The little girl has to deal with the ordeal of separation and the long wait for a new family. As the seasons pass, the departures of adopted children allow her to glimpse the dream that awaits her but shatter the friendships that she has just formed. Jinhee resists because she knows that the promise of a brand-new life will separate her for good from those she loves. Inspired by the director's own experiences, when as a child she was adopted by a French couple in the 1970s.
