SYNOPSIS

What does the home mean to us? And who am 'I' in there? Hejin introduce herself trying to speak in Korea. "I am an Korean adoptee, trans-gender woman, lesbian and sex worker." This story is about her short trip to S. Korea to find her "root or a stem". Would it be possible to find one another home for her during this trip?

DIRECTING INTENTION

One drunken night on a street of Itaewon, Hejin's words just came to me. "I just wanted to enjoy myself whoever I am." Identities are actually given or regarded by others from the birth. But they are so unstable and that unstability would become a huge key word through one's life. How far is the world with diversities and being happy in there. But I try not to lose my hope to be there. This work is for the hope.
