Mon pays au matin calme
1995•52m•Released
Documentary
The discovery of one of the world’s last remaining communist countries, North Korea, seen through the eyes of a young woman from Antwerp of Korean origin. Adopted as a Belgian citizen, she decides to return to her native country, whose language she does not even speak. A stereotypical vision of everyday life in North Korea? The filmmaker instead sought to meet the men and women who live there. Wherever nature unfolds and human life persists, there are always sounds that break the silence—even in the “Land of the Morning Calm.” Thanks to Mi Kyong, the interpreter whose role gradually shifts to become the central figure of the film, we are introduced to the daily life of this remote country, which has been living for more than 50 years through a unique communist experience.
