Columbus

Two souls meet amidst the striking architecture and park-like greenery of Columbus, Indiana. Recent graduate Casey (19) has given up her dreams in order to care for her mother, who is recovering from an addiction to meth and bad men. A library job can also keep her happy, Casey tells herself. Then she runs into Jin (37), an architect's son born in Korea who, having dropped out of a literary study, has become a translator and come here because his father is in a coma. He hasn't spoken to him in a year and doesn't care to show false sentiment – for now, all he can do is wait. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
