Hyun-ji, 30, is a "boomerang child," dreaming of escape while still living with her parents. She’s stuck between a tyrannical, control-freak father and a suffocatingly silent mother. When her aunt dies in Japan, her mother flies out alone and promptly vanishes. Hyun-ji reluctantly heads to Japan with her stubborn father, only to face an absurd reality: Mom has bolted with her sister’s funeral urn. Joined by a Japanese-speaking uncle and an English-speaking cousin, this multilingual confusion sets off on a wild pursuit. Chasing her leads them straight into uncomfortable family truths.
