Take Off
Jump, fly and win your dreams
Directed by Kim Yong-hwa
Produced by KM Culture, Showbox
A warmhearted sports comedy-drama about an adopted Korean-American reconnecting with his roots while pursuing an unlikely Olympic dream with a scrappy national ski jumping team.
Cha Heon-tae, a Korean-American, was adopted with his sister to American parents. He appears on a Korean television program in search of his mother. Since Heon-tae is a trained alpine skier, he is approached by Coach Bang who wants to recruit members for a new national ski jumping team for the approaching 1998 Winter Olympics.
