Carl, 19, lives a quiet life in the Danish countryside with his adoptive parents. They expect Carl to take over the family farm one day to continue their traditions. But Carl begins to feel the pull of two worlds – “home” plus his native homeland, South Korea – and must choose one soon.
Director Malene CHOI, who won the Special Jury Prize at the 19th JEONJU IFF with The Return (2018), a documentary following a visit to Seoul by two Koreans who were adopted by Danish families, comes back with a feature film this time. Like her previous documentary, the protagonist is also an adopted Korean in Denmark, but this film is set in a Danish country town. Near-adult Carl endures a dull daily life looking after cows and the dairy farm from the early morning. His adoptive parents believe he will take over the family business, but Carl doesn’t seem to think like them. The Quiet Migration reveals his isolation in the town, where most residents are white people, through meteorites or calves, and his craving for his roots deepening inside, depicted as ghosts. Contrary to her previous documentary with feature film elements, this film has many documentary qualities, emphasizing Carl’s frustrating life. The Quiet Migration creates powerful resonance by adding a touch of sentiment to the documentary-like desolation. (MOON Seok)
