Minari
Jacob Yi, an ambitious family man yearning to own a small patch of land and be more than a chicken sexer, moves his Korean-American family from 1980s California to rural Arkansas to start afresh and capture the elusive American Dream. However, new beginnings are always challenging. After all, finding out what is best for the family, let alone starting a 50-acre farm to grow and sell Korean fruits and vegetables, is easier said than done. But amid sincere promises, cultural unease, fleeting hopes, and the ever-present threat of financial disaster, Jacob is confident that he has found their slice of Eden in Arkansas' rich, dark soil. Can grandma's humble but resilient minari help the Yi family find their place in the world? Written by Nick Riganas
