While winter numbs the city, Soo-Ha and Yan Kerrand will observe each other, gauge each other, try to communicate with their own means and forge a fragile bond. Version VOSTFR Distributor Diaphana Review Tender by the gentleness of its heroine, this cruel portrait of a young girl who feels abandoned, despite the attention of her mother, turns into an intimate drama whose bursts are stifled by the tranquility of the snowy landscapes and the somewhat abrupt attitude of the stranger. […] A film whose moving sadness tactfully reminds us that in love, as in any relationship, everyone's objectives do not necessarily converge. – Abuse of cinema Winter in Sokcho is a beautiful artistic encounter between France and South Korea. A haunting drama that embraces the melancholy of winter in a profoundly uninteresting city, Koya Kamura's film shines for the sensitivity with which it examines the meeting of two battered beings without ever giving in to the usual codes and clichés of the genre. Winter in Sokcho does not tell the endless story of two souls who will help each other overcome their respective traumas by finding in each other an echo of their discomfort. Here, everything is more subtle, more delicate, more mysterious too. – Mondociné First Feature Film Prize More information: http://le-dietrich.fr/film/un-hiver-a-so…
