Homesick

Director Tanja Wol Sorensen's autobiographical documentary, set between Denmark's wind-blown west coast and the mountains of South Korea, traces the Danish family that hid domestic violence, divorce and a suicide attempt behind its facade — and imagines the lives that were erased, or might have been, in Korea. Through interviews, landscapes and reflective voiceover, it pieces together a perspective shaped by being the only adoptee in a Danish family and the lifelong erasure from the country she was born in, against the backdrop of a transnational adoption system that has fallen from grace.
