Une Vie Toute Neuve is about a 10 year old Korean girl who is dropped off at an orphanage by her father, never to be seen again. I found this movie to be really sad. I guess partially because it reminded me of my father who spent some time at an orphanage as a child, even though he wasn’t an orphan.
Even though it was sad, I really liked this movie. I guess it was set just after the Korean war and it seemed like most of the people looking to adopt the girls were American or English. It goes into what the girls had to do to get adopted, like lying about their age, and trying to look happy all the time.
One thing I didn’t get, at the beginning of the movie there were boys at the orphanage but they seemed to disappear later in the movie. Weird.
