PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HIGH COMMISSION OF CANADA

In the 1990s, So-Young (Choi Seung-yoon) is a Korean single mother raising her son Dong-Hyun (Ethan Hwang) in the suburbs of Canada. Determined to provide a better life for him than the one she left behind in her home country, she does her best to overcome the constant cultural challenges that confront them, while deflecting Dong-Hyun’s increasing curiosity about his heritage. When events prompt them to return to South Korea for the first time since their departure, both mother and son find new hope in the opportunity to reconnect with their roots.

Based on writer-director Anthony Shim’s own childhood, this multi-award-winning Canadian drama is a powerful and emotional portrait of a familial love that is bound to resonate – regardless of whether you’re from Korea, Canada or anywhere in between.
