Second Life
What is my real name? Will you be happier if you live as somebody else?
Directed by Park Young-ju
Produced by Korea National University of Arts, LiTTLE BiG PiCTURES
A haunting character study of guilt and reinvention, where a teenage girl flees her past by assuming a new identity, only to grapple with whether escape can ever truly erase what she's done.
Seon-hee is a high school girl who used to tell lies to get her friends attention. She leaves Seoul guilt-ridden when her friend Jung-mi kills herself because of Seon-hee's lies. In the countryside where no one knows her, Seon-hee begins a new life as Seul-ki.
