Nominated for six Academy Awards and winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (Youn Yuh-jung).
Steven Yeun stars in this American drama written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung.
Set in the 1980s, Korean American Jacob (Yeun) moves his young family to a remote plot of land in rural Arkansas that he dreams of turning into a successful vegetable garden and farm.
However, as they struggle with the demands of their new life and raising their two American-born children, his wife Monica (Yeri Han) sends for her mother (Youn Yuh-jung, PARASITE) from Korea to help raise the children.
Her unorthodox manner is at odds with her grandchildren and their expectation of what a grandmother should be, especially young boy David (Alan Kim). Meanwhile, Jacob and Monica deliberate over how best to achieve their dreams.
