Morkovcha, Korean Carrot Salad tells a story of ethnic Koreans from Russia and the post-Soviet territories. The history is told through conversations between a mother and a daughter, fragmented memories, and my family photo archive. An important character of the film is Morkovcha, an invention of the Russian Korean diaspora; its essence is symbolic of this mixed identity.
