My Age of Seven
Won Seoung Won (South Korea) tells an idyllic story about dreams from her childhood.
My Age of Seven, nurtured by Korean legends, is about a little girl who wakes up in her room, overgrown with plants, realising that her mother has disappeared. It is the beginning of a surreal journey through the Korean countryside. In her quest she is assisted by flowers, trees and animals. There are no traces of people to be found. The narrative is fed by her personal memories, but at the same time is a universal story about the anxiety surrounding letting go of mother’s apron strings, at that age where going to school opens up new and wonderful worlds.
