Seoul Searching is an ‘80s romantic teen comedy about a group of diverse Korean high school students from around the globe, coming together in 1986 to experience the most important summer of their lives. They meet at a special government-run summer camp in Seoul, Korea, where they were sent by their parents to learn what it means to be Korean -a side to them they know little about.
The story focuses on three Korean boys from the U.S., Mexico and Germany and the three girls they meet in the summer of 1986 who change their lives forever. Sid is a punker from LA who has serious issues with authority, including Mr. Kim, the head teacher of his class who harbors a painful secret that leads him to drink every night. Sergio is a Mexican womanizer who loves fiestas and senoritas and wants to get together with as many beautiful girls as he can until he meets his match in Sue-jin, a feminist-in-the-making. Klaus hails from Hamburg and hopes to become the most successful Korean banker in Germany.
The ‘80s was an era when teens were naive, politically incorrect, polarized by cliques and knew nothing about the world because there was no Internet. Seoul Searchingis a film that captures the emotion and angst of youth with the story of a group of teenagers desperately trying to connect with one another -in the end, only to discover themselves.
