In this emotionally charged and vibrant film from Davy Chou, a young French woman returns to Korea for the first time since her adoption.

A surprising and deliciously sleek movie, Return To Seoul follows Freddie (Park Ji-min), who, on-a-whim, travels to Korea, where she's persuaded into seeking out her biological family. This is only the start of her journey - where she ends up, is far less expected.

A transient search for identity, Return To Seoul is a beautiful portrait of Korea, and a passionate search for belonging in a place that is foreign.
