A young film student and her mother run away seaside town of Mohang to escape their mounting debt. The young woman begins writing a script for a short film in order to calm her nerves:
Three women named Anne appear, and each woman consecutively visits the seaside town of Mohang. The first Anne is a successful film director. The second Anne is a married woman secretly in an affair with a Korean man. The third Anne is a divorcée whose husband left her for a Korean woman.
A young woman tends to the small hotel by the Mohang foreshore owned by her parents. A certain lifeguard can always be seen wandering up and down the beach that lies nearby. Each Anne stays at this small hotel, receives some assistance from the owner’s daughter, and ventures onto the beach where they meet the lifeguard.
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"'In Another Country' looks very much like something written on a napkin and shot in the one afternoon that Huppert could come to South Korea. Slight, diverting, forgettable (...) Rating: *** (out of five)"
(Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian) ----------------------------------------
"It is - for all its charms, and despite Hong's trademark formal experimentation -- ultimately rather lightweight stuff"
(Neil Young: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
"'In Another Country' is at once a comedy of manners and an oblique commentary on the power of cinema to expose and alter reality" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"Beguilingly simple, relaxed in its mastery and enhanced by Isabelle Huppert’s impeccable poise" (Maggie Lee: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"Hong's playful structure conceals sharp observations about fantasies, communication, and how foreigners and natives interact (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (New York Post) ----------------------------------------
