Ana, a Korean American, travels to Seoul in 1975 to retrieve her recently deceased father’s ashes. When a bellboy named JC shows up at Ana’s hotel with a package containing her father’s WW2 diary, three separate time periods collide in the small hotel room. We meet Luke, a young American soldier fighting in the jungles of Myanmar in 1944 and Number Four, a Korean comfort woman camping out on a bridge in Seoul in 1950, waiting for the return of the young American soldier who fathered her daughter. Time, space, and Ana’s own origin story are connected by a shape-shifting Jesus in this dark comedy about a family broken apart by betrayed promises and how they find each other again through SPAM, journals, and Jesus. Mostly Jesus.
