LARIRANG

LARIRANG (110m, drama/comedy)

unfolds over one Lunar New Year dinner in Los Angeles’ Korea town. At the table: a proud first-generation father; a mother who’s kept the household running; a 33-year-old son who hasn’t yet found his footing; a newlywed daughter and her Korean-American husband down from San Francisco and a grandmother whose memory is beginning to fade. What starts as tradition becomes a warm, witty family showdown — a fun, accessible window into Korean culture (rituals, food, language) grounded in lived immigrant experience.

A Korean immigrant family in Los Angeles is thrown into chaos during Lunar New Year when clashing cultures and generations turn a traditional holiday into an emotional family showdown.
