Drama / 3m, 2f Steeped in the difficulty of reunification and
reconciliation, American Hwangap tells the story of Min Suk Chun,
who some 15 years earlier left his family in a West Texas suburb to
return to his native Korea. On the occasion of his 60th birthday
(hwangap), a milestone signifying the completion of the Eastern
Zodiac and a type of rebirth, he returns to his ex-wife and now
adult children as they struggle to reconcile their broken past with
the mercurial, verbose and often exasperating patriarch now back at
the head of the table. Through a tense birthday weekend filled with
humor, heartbreak and half-filled expectations, this American
hwangap and its aftermath bears a family not quite whole but still
somehow transformed, and not quite happy but still somehow
beautiful. "A delight to watch." - The New York Times "Touching
family drama." - Variety "As refreshingly original in its point of
view as in its quirky humor and affecting relationships." - San
Francisco Gate
