他曾和哥兒們恣意虛擲年少，幻想與辣妹戀愛，不怎麼美好的日子裡，猶有美夢。直到那夜，死了個兄弟之後，友情各分東西。他做了警察，終於逮到凶手，卻被長官下令吃案，他再也不相信這世界的一切⋯。從塔什干到首爾，讓人心碎的雙城悲歌，卻是導演出色的處女作。從敘事到影像，每格底片都像是就要吶喊出聲一般，充滿驚人的爆發力。

What does it mean to adopted and brought up far away from your country of birth? In “Given Away,” this week’s moving new Op-Doc by directors Glenn and Julie Morey, Korean adoptees who grew up in Western countries reflect on the complicated emotional terrain that they’ve navigated in their lives. Glenn Morey was himself adopted from Korea in the wake of the Korean war, and the directors have channeled that connection to create a beautifully nuanced and emotional film. As the Moreys write of Glenn’s experience interviewing adoptees, “He has needed others like him … to help him make sense of his life. They have also helped him make peace with the universe.”
