Neglected by her husband, Sarah embarks on an impromptu road trip with her young daughter and feisty college friend Mindy. After an alcohol-infused heart-to-heart, a long unspoken intimacy emerges between the old friends, but circumstances force them apart. Years later, Sarah attempts to rebuild their intimate connection in the days before Mindy's wedding.
So Yong Kim skillfully captures intimacy and unspoken, sometimes unformed emotional truths. Summoning beautiful performances from her actresses, she has crafted a bittersweet love story about muted desire.
Filmography: For Ellen (2012), Treeless Mountain (2008), In Between Days (2006).
