A South Korean Farm, a Brother & Sister, a Forbidden Love

Lonely C by Wolf Lamb Vs Soulclap

By Nils Clauss with Neil Dowling

The video shoot took place on a small farm in Jeollabuk-do province, South Korea in February 2011. The storyline was conceived in response to the song lyrics which tell of an unrequited love or a longing that can’t be satisfied or consummated. We came up with the concept of a brother and sister who are twins who have grown up lived and worked together on their parents’ small farm. They are confused and disturbed by the fact that their closeness has developed into a kind of sexual longing that they know they must hide away deep inside.

Neil Dowling is an Irish filmmaker living in Seoul. Nils Clauss is a photographer and cinematographer from Germany.

    The story about a couple like this in Ireland made headlines in Korea. Interesting that an Irish filmmaker would come to Korea to make a movie about something that is happened in Ireland…

    opa, nuna, dong saeng etc. Why do girls call guys they are romantically involved opa? Big brother? Something perhaps in the etymology? Inbreeding in South Korea is a historical fact but rarely talked about.

    But, later in the mid-Chosun dynasty, marriage within the same surname and place of family origin was prohibited by the law, which has existed to now. http://www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/IES/southkorea.html

    Was it a big enough problem to involve state intervention?
