PRIX LE FILM FRANÇAIS 2025, PRIX CINÉMA EN CONSTRUCTION TITRAFILM 2025

The migration journey of a Korean family to Argentina in search of a better life as they find ways to mourn what has been lost along the way. Lila, a Korean-Argentine teenager has yet to find her place in the world. Meanwhile, her father, Antonio, arrives in Latin America 18 years earlier as a young man in search of new horizons, and decides to bet everything on the promise of a young immigrant’s dream. A generational epic that seeks to return to the past in order to reinvent the present.
