35년 전 프랑스로 해외입양이 되어 파리에서 배우이자 극작가로 살고 있는 ‘나나’. 그는 어느 날, 자신의 삶에 중요한 갈림길이 될 두 가지 소식을 받아들게 된다. 하나는 자신이 헤어진 애인의 아이를 임신했다는 사실. 또 하나는 그를 주인공으로 영화를 찍고 싶다는 한국의 대학생 ‘서영’의 이메일이다. 서영은 나나가 해외로 입양되기 전, 그를 보호했던 한 기관사가 지어 준 ‘문주’라는 이름의 의미를 찾아가는 과정을 영화에 담고 싶다며 나나를 설득한다. 나나는 결국 배 속의 작은 생명에게 ‘우주’라는 이름을 붙이고, 서영의 제안을 따라 이름의 기원을 알기 위해 한국행을 결심한다. 그의 인생에서 접힌 페이지였던 나라로, 스크린 바깥의 인물들이었던 이들을 만나기 위해.
A Best Book of the Year So Far by The New Yorker
In this moving exploration of dual identities reminiscent of Past Lives, a writer’s pregnancy raises questions about her own childhood abandonment.
Nana, a Korean-born playwright, was adopted as a child and raised in France by her adoptive parents. Pregnant with the child of her ex-boyfriend, Nana receives a request from a Korean filmmaker who wishes to make a documentary about her life. Following a sudden compulsion to learn more about her roots, she heads to Seoul as she prepares to bring a new life into the world. There, through unexpected encounters, the dark threads of her memory gradually begin to unravel.
Simple Heart delves into profound questions about identity and belonging, with a focus on family connections and motherhood that recalls Kyung-Sook Shin’s Please Look After Mom. It also shines a necessary light on issues such as international adoption and the historic US military presence in Korea.
