Overview

Amy, adopted by an American family as a child, visits a jjigae restaurant in Jungnang-gu, Seoul. She introduces herself as a chef from the U.S. to Eunseon, the restaurant owner searching for staff after her mother passed away. Amy asks Eunseon to teach her how to make jjigae. Amy can not hide her complex feelings toward Eunseon's mother. Eunseon gradually grows suspicious about Amy.

Review

Amy is visiting Seoul and wants to see her birth mother's face. Amy, who separated from her parents at a young age from adoption, and Eunseon, who recently lost her mother and doesn’t quite know what to do with her absence, kimchi jjigae is their personal connection to their mothers. Their late afternoon walk becomes a vivid memory for one person and an imaginary unknown for the other. This film observes without bias how the two of them work through the riddle of longing in their own ways. (KANG Jin-ah)
