In the 1980s, a family of South Korean immigrants moves to a rural plot of land in Arkansas with the dream of building a prosperous life. Jacob, the patriarch, is determined to grow Korean crops that will help support his family and achieve success, while his wife, Monica, faces the reality of a rural life that is not what she expected. Their burgeoning farm becomes a symbol of their hopes and struggles but also unleashes tensions within the home.
With the arrival of the children's grandmother, Soon-ja, the family dynamic transforms radically. Although their relationship is initially complicated, Soon-ja becomes a key figure for her grandchildren, especially for David, a boy who struggles with health issues and faces his own cultural identity. As the family navigates the challenges of farming, adapting to a new culture, and internal conflicts, love and resilience emerge as the true heroes of this story.
Through moments of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, the film captures the essence of the American dream, exploring universal themes such as identity, family, and connection to the land. The plot unfolds with an intimate and reflective pace that invites the viewer to ponder what "home" truly means and the roots that define us.
