520 It's winter in Sokcho, a tourist town on the border
between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything
down. Bodies are red and raw, the fish turn venomous,
beyond the beach guns point out from the North's
watchtowers. A young French Korean woman works as a
receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening, an
unexpected guest arrives: a French cartoonist determined
to find inspiration in this desolate landscape. The two
form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany
him on trips to discover an "authentic" Korea, they visit
snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls, and cross into
North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she
knows--the gaudy neon lights, the scars of war, the fish
market where her mother works. As she's pulled into his
vision and taken in by his drawings, she strikes upon a
way to finally be seen
