English
EA South Korean woman and her Dutch partner are confronted with cultural and linguistic barriers. They ask themselves: Can love truly bridge the gap between their differences?
Like many intercultural couples, South Korean Young-Ju and her Dutch partner Leon navigate between conflict and harmony. What’s self-evident to one can feel unfamiliar to the other. During a dinner with Leon’s family, Young-Ju suddenly feels like an outsider, cut off by a language she doesn’t understand. And as her sense of isolation deepens, Leon struggles wondering what he can do to help her. Is love enough to carry them across the distance between their cultures?

Film+performance
This movie is part of Roffa Mon Amour x TR. You're very welcome to come and watch just the film. However, we've scheduled it specifically during this week because it ties in closely with the theme of the play Romeo & Julia, which will be performed in the Main Hall on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 November at 8:00 PM.
