The story takes place in the 1980s, a Korean family's American dream. At the beginning of the film, it is father Jacob and mother Monica, who lead their son David and daughter to move. From the west coast of the United States, moved to the remote state of Arkansas. This is a remote village. The scenery is very beautiful. If it is left to the present, it may develop into Li Ziqi's second. But it's very inconvenient to do anything. In a word, you can't go to the village without going to the store. There is no modern equipment, and everything has to be done by yourself. What's more worrying is that the place where they live is an RV with wheels. Like many married women, Monica is both worried and dissatisfied with the current situation. The older generation always likes to say "men are the backbone of the family", but in fact Monica's situation is not easy. Jacob makes choices and never puts her in the plan. Between the farm and the family, Jacob chose the former. What's more, David suffers from heart disease. Phototherapy can cost a fortune. This has made the poor families even worse. The misunderstanding caused by the lack of timely communication between the husband and wife living in a living room without money... All kinds of contradictions finally broke out on a rainy night. When a tornado hits, it is very likely that the house will be blown away with people. Jacob and Monica get into a heated argument, and the central question remains forever: Where does all the money go after all this hard work? The answer is not only to spend on two children, but also to send money home to support the elderly.
To make matters worse, a fire burned out the vegetables on the farm and brought a devastating blow to the Jacob family. But the flip side of destruction is rebirth. Like the word: Nirvana rebirth.
