In a packed bar, a woman sits between two men. One is her husband, the other is her first love, a man she hasn’t seen in real life since they were both teenagers in Korea. Her family moved away; he stayed. Now, 24 years later, they have reconnected in New York, the past and the present colliding and pointing towards a future.

The filmmaker emigrated from Korea in her teens, leaving behind someone who, decades later, came to visit her and her now husband, Zendaya’s much-anticipated tennis romantic thriller; “We’re all one sick family,” jokes Lee.)
