The first and longest chapter is an engaging drama of adoptee (Korean born, raised in France) searching for birth parents and the ensuing cultural difficulties encountered with her biological father and his family. As soon as the "two years later" inter title appears the film lurches from one disconnected episode to another with characters (one Korean boyfriend, one French, plus an older French man) appearing and disappearing without any explanation. This is a shame as the first part offered a lot of promise with the communication and translation difficulties superimposed on the difficulty of re-encountering birth parents. The rating should really be 8/10 for part 1 and 4/10 for the rest.
