In Another Country

Directed by Hong Sang-soo

Produced by Jeonwonsa Film, Les Films du Camélia

A contemplative, layered meditation on identity and connection set in a seaside town, where parallel narratives of three women named Anne explore fleeting encounters and emotional escape.

A young woman and her mother run away to the seaside town of Mohang to escape their mounting debt. The young woman begins writing a script for a short film in order to calm her nerves: There are three women named Anne, and each woman consecutively visits the seaside town of Mohang. A young woman tends to the small hotel by the Mohang foreshore owned by her parents. A certain lifeguard can be seen restlessly wandering up and down the beach that lies nearby. Each Anne stays at this small hotel, receives some assistance from the owner's daughter, and ventures onto the beach where they meet the lifeguard.
