Drinking makgeolli (Korean rice wine) to comfort herself, a French woman, who finds herself without money or means to support herself, becomes a French teacher for two Korean women.

Flushed with the waning light of summer, this cinematic drift through Seoul marks another winning collaboration for Korean maestro Hong Sang-soo and Isabelle Huppert. Between sips of makgeolli, chance connections and found poetry blur the gaps between languages and cultures with luminous delight.
