The film portrays the complex emotions for young adult East Asian American women through its main character, Jenny, a Korean adoptee in America struggling thorough life and difficult relationships.
When Jenny is kicked out of the apartment she shares with her roommate, she moves in with Beatrice Shimizu, a beautiful but insecure model and college student.
Writer and director Joy Dietrich, herself a Korean adoptee,[3] said, "I wanted to make a film that gave nuanced portraits of young Asian-American women whose stories are seldom told in mainstream media.
While this film doesn't attempt to explain the reasons why, it does expose the isolating, alienating factors that make the young women feel the way they do -- the greatest among them the lack of acceptance and belonging.
"[14] Spacek continued, "Using gorgeous location photography in tandem with an evocative soundtrack, Dietrich gives the film a lyrical quality, as we drift in and out of Jenny’s dreams.
"[8] Tseng added, "Jiang carries the film with a compelling performance throughout while dealing with taboo subjects; Kim is nervously fragile and heartbreaking as the perfect-on-the-outside girl who might fall apart at any second; and the third female character, Sandy, provides some comic relief as a shy little sister who is learning how to speak up for herself and demand respect.
