The Avian Kind



Shin Yeon-shick : 2014
Joryu ingan

A novelist, Kim Jeong-seok has spent years searching for his missing wife. Fifteen years previously, she left him and their young daughter behind and disappeared. He wrote a novel about his experience. When Jeong-seok comes across a young girl, Alice, who read his novel and is also looking for someone who disappeared, she tells him she can help find his wife. Clues start suddenly appearing as to the fates of both women. Along the way they meet various people, but each one is secretly hiding the purpose of their own search. Rumours grow about the fate of the missing people: can they have really changed into another form of life? A road movie that develops thriller material into a fascinating fairy tale in which mythical elements come together to form a multi-layered allegory on the modern-day wish for self-discovery. Shin Yeon-shick's fifth feature premiered at Jeonju International Film Festival 2014.
