Sophie Bredier

Patience, sweetheart

I am alone in an apartment. Opposite, a lake. I have to immerse my adoptive mother's funeral urn in it. This was her wish. How to make it? Suddenly, the ghost of my Korean mother reappears. My teenage daughter comes to support me.

Asian women, fantasy women

Geishas or schoolgirls, dragon warriors or lolitas, the Asian women has never ceased to fascinate Westerners. But what is behind the profusion of images associated with them? In her very personal way, Sophie Bredier, French director of Korean origin, questions these representations in art and in the collective imagination, meeting artists such as Jean-Paul Goude, Christophe Gans, Romain Slocombe, Mariko Aoyama, Setsuko Balthus... Delving into the paths of creation and traversing fantasies that have Asian women as their object, the trajectory of the film is that of the identification of an imaginary woman and the projections that we make of her.

Séparées

Twenty-five years after her adoption, Sophie returns for the first time to South Korea. On the scene of the separation - - the separation from a father, a sister and a country. But this private history refers to the collective history of a people divided by a line of demarcation since 1953.
