Description:

Within the unsettling quiet of an unnamed suburb, the film probes the emotional undercurrents of a young third-generation Japanese woman. Julie Kumagai's life with her widower father is marked by pained tensions and turbulent emotions. Julie's memory of her mother who drowned earlier off the coast of Osaka remains shrouded in mystery and melancholy. Indifferent to a break-up with her boyfriend and the lure of a long-planned trip, Julie finds momentary pleasure with Tetsuro, a young Korean man newly emigrated from Japan who is obsessed with all things American. Julie and Tetsuro encounter differences in the personal and cultural circumstances which separate them, and discover no easy resolutions. Between suburban bliss and absolute alienation, the film evokes the complex dislocations of an Asian Canadian woman. <38mn 26s>
