Writer-director Justin Chon and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Ex Machina) star in this heart-felt, contemporary immigration drama.
Antonio LeBlanc (director-writer-actor Chon) is a Korean immigrant who came to the U.S. at the age of three and was adopted by a family from Louisiana. Antonio’s wife, Kathy (Vikander) is expecting a second daughter, while struggling to provide for their first child, Jessie, who has been raised knowing Antonio as her father after her birth father, Ace (Mark O’Brien) left the family long ago. Life seems perfect until an unexpected dispute lands Antonio in jail with his citizenship in question.
