SYNOPSIS
For seventeen-year-old Rachel, life is nothing but frustration: she constantly fights with her mother and loathes her stepfather. Her rage drives her into isolation and defiance, and she eventually runs away from home. During her travels, Rachel encounters Jean, a beautiful modern dancer just out of prison, and this becomes the first step in Rachel’s unusual process of self-transformation. Jean helps Rachel discover her latent talent for dance and, as a result, a newfound passion for life. Together with Jean’s ex-prison cellmate Odile, the three women form a sisterhood of support for their troubled pasts.
Directed by actress/singer Carole Laure, CQ2 (Seek You Too) is a story of a graceful maturity from tormented adolescence into self-realized adulthood. The film illustrates the hope and healing capabilities through the art of dance and music. (Lim Sung-min)
