Written and directed by Markus Hoeckner and inspired by his own experiences, this sensitive short drama captures the daily life and rhythms of a young Hmong-American woman who longs to strike out for a life on her own terms, but is wrangled into more traditional roles and expectations at home. Told with a perceptive eye for the unspoken and slice-of-life naturalism, viewers are offered an intimacy into this character's life and the subterranean yet significant conflict between the life she wants for herself and her obligations to others. ––OMELETO
