NOTES

Title from title frames

In the dark karaoke rooms of Los Angeles’s Koreatown, Kasie works as a doumi girl, a young hostess paid to cater to rich businessmen. As she struggles to hide her troubles through soju-and-MDMA-fueled nights, her mind is focused on one thing: earning enough tips to continue providing for her bedridden father. When her father’s caretaker unexpectedly quits, Kasie seeks help from her estranged brother, and the siblings are forced to reconnect and reconcile their years long separation. From acclaimed filmmaker Justin Chon. Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival** and **CAAMFest**. *"Together, these various shades of misery swirl together to create a beautiful portrait of a fractured but resilient family." - Andee Tagle, **NPR***
