DMZ - SOUTHERN BORDER PROHIBITED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION

- In 1953, at the end of the Korean War which does more

of 2 million deaths, The dividing line is drawn.

abruptly separating North Korea and South Korea.

This line, punctuated by watchtowers, of barbed wire and minefields,

extends over 248 kilometers

and carves out the peninsula from east to west...

The recording is interrupted. and becomes inaudible.

... a border has been established.

This border, much more than a drawing on a map,

left deep scars on the populations concerned.

Families torn apart, abandoned villages

and the tragic stories are the silent witnesses

of this separation.

To date, No peace treaty has been ratified.

- What does that mean?

"I pray for reunification." "I will see my family again."

These are the wishes separated families.

Parents, children.

On both sides, without any news.

Without the possibility of communication.

Even today, people still hope

find members of their family.

Isn't that sad?

Why do you say that?

Don't you find it sad to believe

that we can find someone After so many years?

- There's nothing sad about it something to hope for or to wait for.

Breath of the wind

Good morning.

You are known throughout the world.

What triggers desire? to write a story?

- What triggers it? Uh...

Um... The place. Yes, I would say, firstly, the location.

First of all.

When I found it,

I like to immerse myself in it, to try to absorb everything like a sponge.

Melancholy air on the cello

It may take some time,

but I like the place

which do not reveal right away.

And then there are, of course, the encounters.

the people you might meet.

The stories they carry within them, secrets to discover, to explore.

And then...

Yes, these...

These solitudes that meet.

- You are sensitive, then. to other people's stories?

Yes.

Much more than you think.

Except that at the same time,

all your albums don't speak than you, isn't it?

That's not wrong.

(In Korean)

- Why didn't you try to find him?

What ?

My father.

Again ?

- You didn't try to find it on the Internet?

And how?

Or through the port administration?

- What's wrong with you?

It's pointless to stir all of this up now.

It's cold!

- It is absolutely necessary Eat it today.

I hope I'll have enough for the New Year.

I'm already receiving orders.

- I would like that that you teach me, one day.

What would that do you any good?

I'm interested to know.

Don't talk nonsense.

Eat it while it's fresh.

You're still eating with just the tip of your lip.

- (In French) - You cannot come here,

That's forbidden.

Sorry, I didn't know.

Look how graphic it is.

These shapes, these lines.

I really like structures.

Do you find it beautiful?

I didn't say that.

- La-bas,

There was an amusement park

where I was going to help My mother and my aunt.

This building,

it was a cinema which showed French films.

To be ?

Yes.

Can you show me?

What will you show me?

Your Sokcho.

Yes.

Ever since I was little, I've always read comic books.

I spent hours reading and to copy my favorite squares.

In the beginning, it was Tintin.

Then Philémon, Corto Maltese.

Only travelers.

I love your drawings.

I looked it up on the internet.

They are very beautiful.

They seem light, but...

In reality, they are sad. I adore

their melancholy.

And you ?

You always wanted To go sightseeing?

Here, everyone does that.

- You're not the type to do like everyone else.

Do you see?

It's the back of a dragon.

He lost a pearl.

so he's looking for her in the depths.

And what is this?

It's a woman.

- A woman? - A woman.

Um... It's curved,

and his head is over there, towards the sea.

She is waiting for her husband to return who went fishing.

Do you see that there?

It's a flying fish.

Wait, where?

- That's it. Its beak emerges from the water

And its fin is there. Can't you see?

It's not obvious.

She laughed.

But it has the merit of stimulating

l'imagination.

I can see it clearly.

The fish has a dream.

He wants to fly above of the sea of ​​clouds.

But he's stuck.

It's too high for him.

Every year, when spring returns,

every morning, The valley is shrouded in mist.

And then, the fish has the impression to be in the middle of the clouds.

That's why spring is her favorite season.

- You know All the local legends?

Did your mother tell them to you?

Or did you just invent them?

Are you cold?

Yes, your fingers are frozen.

It's winter, it's cold, You don't have the right gloves.

It's true that we can see the sea.

I'm going to the annex.

- Take this. I'll turn the stove up higher.

Exactly.

Come back from time to time!

Breakfast is served until ten o'clock.

- (In French) - I'm moving here.

Oh, OK.

Welcome home.

- Your hero, let's talk about him.

I would like people to understand, Today,

that's exactly what he's looking for.

- I don't know myself.

I think that if I had asked myself the question,

I wouldn't have done it So many albums.

- This nameless character, Actually, it's you.

You are someone Very lonely, isn't it?

It's a choice, after all...

It was a choice.

Does that mean things have changed?

Let's say that, in the past,

Yes, I may have been led to take decisions that isolated me.

- (In Korean) - This is too short.

I know.

Attends.

Soo-ha.

She's coughing.

- It can be altered. - We can take care of it.

- Turn around.

Do you think it's pretty?

- Treat yourself. - Look at yourself.

That hanbok really suits you. Your aunt will like it.

But it would be necessary ask the groom for his opinion.

Stop.

The mother coughs.

Are you okay, Mom?

How are you.

Mom,

You absolutely must see a doctor.

Everything is fine.

Let's go eat some good stuff instead. my daughter.

She had her entire face redone.

Ears included.

Doesn't that make you want to?

What do you want me to get done?

My breasts?

Or maybe it's my eyes, they're weird.

- It doesn't hurt to get a nose job.

A woman makes an effort. It helps you keep your lover.

Pardon.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

It's going to make you sick. You need to eat something else.

We all have to die someday.

including three in Seoul.

And one in Yangyang.

Ah good ?

A health for the dead.

Health.

Health.

Hello, I hope you finally get married.

How is your handsome one?

Well...

His career is taking off.

Oh yes ?

Formidable !

The wedding is coming soon then. This summer?

Are you going to do it in Seoul?

I know the boss you Lotte Hotel.

(In English) The best!

- (In Korean) - We don't have any friends in Seoul.

Not here either.

I'll make sure you look beautiful.

I met A brilliant makeup artist.

She could transform a clam dressed as a mermaid.

These glasses are awful.

They look like my mom's.

May his soul rest in peace.

She must be at peace.

- She should have her myopia corrected, It takes 5 minutes.

That's what I told him.

- Soo-ha, Stop playing with your food.

I keep telling him that.

- That's why that you are so thin.

You're still working In your guesthouse?

Hey!

You're still working In your guesthouse?

Yes.

- All those evenings to study in my living room...

to be the maid in a boarding house.

I feel good here.

Mr. Park is kind

and I meet fascinating people.

- Retirees who go hiking...

There's even a Frenchman.

A Frenchman?

What is he doing?

Did you know that?

He came to fish.

He draws.

The French are handsome, aren't they?

We look at them with our mouths open. and wide eyes.

Like a fish in front of a piece of courgette.

And then, when they had finished their business, They disappear.

We try to hold them back because we're pregnant...

This is the best way to scare them away.

Mom.

What did she say?

Mom.

Did he know you were pregnant?

Mom !

You have me...

You always told me that he had left

without knowing you were pregnant.

Sad melody on the piano

Why did you lie to me?

A clarinet is added.

Both of them?

Ropes reach her, The music remains sad.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy New Year, everyone!

A door opens.

The music slowly fades out.

The tinkling of the bell from the entrance

Mr. Park.

Good year.

Happy New Year, my daughter.

Your mother passed by place the sausage on top.

Put it in the fridge.

This morning ?

She didn't ask me?

And how was it for you?

- Mother Kim tried to foist his ravioli on me.

The kimchi pot was almost empty.

What's the worst that could happen?

What if the ceiling collapses?

This is the first Seollal that I pass all by myself.

I should have spent it here.

- (In French) - For that,

we need beef,

what is called meat for braising.

Tell your butcher that you are making a beef bourguignon,

He will give you the right pieces.

Musique vive, pizzicato The first step of the recipe,

This is the marinade: We need herbs and spices.

bay leaf, thyme, beautiful carrots from the garden.

button mushrooms white or brown.

I chose brown ones. for their more pronounced taste.

Traditionally,

beef bourguignon It takes its name from its red wine.

a Burgundy wine, But I use wine...

There, I had a Madiran wine. a wine from Gers.

The meat has cooked for two to three hours.

You add a little bit of water if we see that the sauce is thick.

It still needs to cook potatoes.

A piano replaces the pizzicato.

It slows down, then disappears.

Object movement and rubbing behind the door

I made you a French dish.

Is...

I'll put it here.

Good evening.

Slow, enigmatic music

DO NOT DISTURB

Yes ?

Do you want anything?

No, it's fine.

- I thought you had need to eat or drink.

No, I don't need anything.

- I'm working. Are you sure?

- Yes, I have to work. Don't disturb me.

But if you want...

Why are you doing this to me?

Pardon ?

- I told you: Why are you doing this to me?

You came from nowhere.

You asked me...

to show you my city and...

You wanted to discover it.

You need help.

You have...

I need someone.

We give you our time.

We are opening ourselves up to you.

And...

You close the door.

You will disappear.

- Please, Don't take it like that.

Don't mix everything up.

Here, I'm just a tourist.

I'm just a tourist. a customer like any other.

Nothing more.

I am not the one you're looking for.

Slow, melancholic music

A bubbling effect is superimposed. to music.

Jerky breathing

The music becomes faster and tense.

The choppy notes a saxophone goes wild.

Low rumble

She's coughing.

Someone is coming down the stairs.

- Soo-ha.

Mr. Park sighed.

Melancholic music

The tinkling of the bell

- (In Korean) - Mr. Park asked for clams.

Was it good?

Why did you lie to me? All this time?

It's true.

Your... him...

He knew.

As he was leaving, he told me: "We'll see when we meet again."

He was supposed to return in the spring.

And then nothing.

I didn't have his address.

I never had again news of him.

I was young.

I was naive.

- You've never tried to find him?

And.

I contacted companies search for missing persons,

more...

They are all specialists. on North Korea.

They don't care from France.

And then...

I stopped thinking about him.

The important thing was being with you.

- Why didn't you ever tell me All of that?

Is...

I didn't want to that you know about this.

It's terrible to feel abandoned.

Slow and melancholic piano music

- The other day, when I came home From the cemetery, I saw

three large hotels en construction sur Subok-ro.

Well...

If we want to survive, We need to start some work.

Repainting the walls, replace the radiators.

Replace the stove.

Oh no, it's historical!

Renovating the kitchen?

You want to ruin me.

- And throw that away? - My wife made them.

It's pretty.

Very nice.

The rooftop needs to be renovated before spring.

It's true.

The city is beautiful.

We sometimes forget that.

Door creaking and the ringing of the bell

I'm going to go clean the couple's bedroom.

- (In English) - Good morning.

Good morning.

(In French) I have to tell you,

I'm returning to France the day after tomorrow.

So I wanted to let you know that...

The room will be free.

Is your story over?

And you're a little bit part of it.

You still need a souvenir.

You are going to taste my cooking.

Water runoff

- (In Korean) - Hello, Mr. Woo.

Hello.

Percussive music, struck strings

Exclamation

Soft piano music

The ethereal notes of a flute are added.

- (In Korean) - Madame ?

Madame !

Where do we put this?

Here.

See you later.

Gentle melody for clarinet

The notes of a piano swirl and dance behind the clarinet.

Violins build in a crescendo short, quick strokes of the bow.

A cello takes up the melody.

The soft music continues.

Very slow and sad music
