This is a sad movie. It is a very short view (I don't think it is 90 minutes) of the life of a Korean immigrant girl living in Canada. Dad took off. Mom is lonely and starting to date, which pisses Aimie off. She leaves messages for her dad, but I got they impression they were messages into the clouds - all in her head. Dad isn't coming back or calling.
Aimee is in love with her best friend - a guy. He is not interested. This is a movie about loneliness and isolation, and it's pretty sad. The director uses the Canadian winter vistas well; the opening scene is snow and Aimie crunching along by herself. Her isolation is palpable. If you want to watch a stripped - bare movie, try this one.
