Un Hiver à Sokcho: screening and Q&A session with Elisa Shua Dusapin

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A screening of the film Hiver à Sokcho (Winter in Sokcho), based on Elisa Shua Dusapin’s best-selling debut novel, will be followed by a Q&A session with Elisa Shua Dusapin. Don’t miss this unique opportunity, organised in partnership with the Korean Consulate.

Synopsis: In Sokcho, a small seaside village in South Korea, Soo-Ha, 25, lives in a bit of a rut, rhythmed by visits to her mother, a fishmonger, and her relationship with her boyfriend, Jun-Ho. When a French man named Yan Kerrand arrives in the boarding house where Soo-Ha works, it awakens within her questions about her own identity, and that of her French father, of whom she knows almost nothing. As winter settles over the town, Soo-Ha and Kerrand will observe and gauge each other, trying to communicate any way they can – through cooking for one and drawing for the other – delicately weaving a fragile bond between them.

In French with English Subtitles.
