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.

Cristina Aparicio Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A film that embraces, that caresses, just like those hands that appear again and again on the screen. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Japanese-French filmmaker Koya Kamura’s impressive feature debut, Winter in Sokcho, is a story about a place, a young woman’s search for identity and place in the world, and a brief encounter between a visiting French artist and a Korean hotel worker. Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Asian Cut Effectively conveys the overarching sense of desired connection and contrasts it with a self-imposed sense of isolation. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Louis Roberts Loud and Clear Reviews It won’t be for everyone, but let’s hope it’s a success, because I for one can’t wait to see what Bella Kim does next. Rated: 3/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
