Folklorn

"Elsa Park is a particle physicist working in Antarctica, trying to uncover the mysteries of the universe – but when she sees her imaginary childhood friend on the snow-white continent, she knows the ghosts of her past have caught up with her, and she must separate the past from the present and walk the line between what’s real and what’s imagined. Angela Mi Young Hur’s Folklorn is a beautiful meditation on childhood trauma as well as an exploration into Korean heritage; it’s also a gorgeous journey into the intersection of science and myth and how our past traumas shape us – but how they need not define us."
