Champion

Jimin is a nine old years Korean girl living, with her mother and brother in a motel room in California , besieged by ants and animated by homesick. She is angry about her father attitude and refuses to talk to him at phone.

But one day, the attention , kindness and same interest for art with a class mate changes everything.

Two basic virtues of this profound beautiful short film :

• the performances , no doubts the young Erin Yoonsuh Choi impressing for nuanced, realistic portrait of Jimin - ah ;
• the universal echo of story about difficulties of integration of immigrants in a new culture , new language , the hope of mother about future of her kids , the difference between siblings, the spirit of family and, not last, the inspired final.

In short, just profound besautiful short film.
