Mixing moments of melancholy, poignancy and humour, the latest by writer-director Johnny Ma takes a highly original approach to his film’s themes of cultural dislocation and familial relations. After her adult daughter sustains an injury on an icy Winnipeg street that puts her in a coma, Sara (Kim Ho-jung) comes from South Korea to be at her bedside in hospital. Yet even amid this stressful situation, Sara can’t help herself from meddling in her daughter’s life, a life that she may not know much about at all. Trading in the harder tone of his startling feature debut OLD STONE (KCFF17) for warmer ones that shift from the naturalistic to the wildly surreal, Ma presents a story about family and community that takes many farcical turns yet remains all too relatable.
