About

When a renowned architecture scholar falls suddenly ill during a speaking tour, his son Jin finds himself stranded in Columbus, Indiana - a small Midwestern city celebrated for its many significant modernist buildings. Jin strikes up a friendship with Casey, a young architecture enthusiast who works at the local library.
Quiet, contemplative stillness settles over every frame as the geometric lines of modernist architecture mirror the characters' internal hesitations. This gentle connection between two wandering souls finds its rhythm in the stillness of a small Midwestern town.
