"In rural Canada in the 1990s, a Korean family – a widower, his teenage son, and young daughter – attempts to find footing in a new land while navigating the dark forests of grief. Sonny has been hired to eradicate the feral canines plaguing the town, while sensitive Hajoon figures out what it means to be a man. Finally, young Hana, missing her mother, dreams up ways to make her return." Starring Sein Jin, Jae-Hyun Kim, Da-Nu Nam, and Candyce Weir. Thank you @jeromeoyoo, production co.
