I have been living in Europe since 2002. I went to Korea with my one-year-old son in 2016 to see my parents after a long time. While staying at my parents' house, I sent my mother, who was suffering from Parkinson's syndrome to a nursing home with the intention of helping my father. This story is about the point where generations intersect. At the point where my son was starting to learn to walk, and her mother was starting to forget her walking.

A meditation and a reverie upon a city at once real and imagined. Conceptualized as a documentary on the ZUP buildings in France, the film has instead found form as poetic & expansive confrontation with the psychogeography of a contemporary Europe in crisis.
