STILLE LIV (THE QUIET MIGRATION)

19-year-old Carl lives a quiet rural life in Denmark with his adoptive parents, who expect him to take over the family farm one day and preserve their family tradition. Carl, however, feels that he needs to explore his South Korean heritage before taking this decision. Malene Choi grew up in Denmark as an adopted South Korean child herself. In the second part of a planned trilogy on adoption, she explores with subtle humour and understated surreal elements what it means to grow up and experience a sense of belonging.
