Director Yoon Ga-eun’s first feature film brings us to the world of elementary school children in South Korea and the social issues related.
The main character is an introverted 11-year-old girl named Seon (Choi Soo-in) who struggles to be accepted by her classmates and finds an unexpected opportunity to make a new friend with the arrival of a new student Ji-ah (Seol Hye-in).
The two bond very fast but the differences in their family backgrounds eventually emerge bringing the two apart.
“Delicately paced and absorbing throughout, Yoon’s film never takes things to an extreme, but it soon becomes clear that the pressures these children face are not limited to the school grounds” https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-world-of-us-berlin-review/5100243.article
