What makes a mother give away her baby? This is the big question in Sun Hee Engelstoft’s poignant heartbreaker of a film about three Korean women who have become pregnant outside of marriage and are now hiding from the outside world until they give birth. They live in a shelter for unwed mothers on a South Korean island, where beautiful landscapes are in sharp contrast to the fierce dilemma that women go through: should they keep their children or give them up for adoption? Engelstoft has been given unique access to this particular shelter run by the strong-willed Mrs. Im, who fights for the girls’ independence but is up against a social structure and family tradition that leaves women in an impossible situation. Engelstoft’s sensitive portrait brings us close to a forbidden world and through her own experience as a Korean adoptee, she gives a deeply personal and extraordinary insight into a culture in which women can’t choose their own fate.

La guerra no acaba cuando se firma la paz. Cuando Alemania se rindió en 1945, en la costa occidental danesa comenzó otra dura batalla: la de los jóvenes soldados alemanes que fueron obligados a retirar miles de minas plantadas en la arena por el ejército nazi. Zandvliet muestra el maltrato infligido a esos prisioneros, un oscuro episodio de posguerra poco conocido.
