It’s Never What You Think That’s Broken... The Hanji Box, written, directed and edited by Nora Jacobson, is about Hannah, an American mother emerging heartbroken from a divorce, and Rose, her adopted. . . d Korean daughter. When the mysterious Hanji Box—Rose’s precious link to Korea—is broken, Hannah travels to New York’s Koreatown to mend it. By chance she meets a charismatic Korean artist, who takes her on a journey of cultural discovery. Nuanced performances by the actors illuminate issues of longing and belonging, loss, mothering, identity and US-Korean history. The Hanji Box was inspired by the autobiographical memoir of an adoptive mother haunted by the origins of her adopted Korean children.
