![]() In the course of one day, Natasha, who is about to be deported back to Jamaica, meets Daniel who is on his way to a supposedly life-changing college interview. Natasha believes in reason and science and definitely not love at first sight. Korean-American, Daniel, has always tried to be the good son, living up to his parent’s dream of him becoming a doctor, even though his passion lies in poetry. When the two meet on the streets of New York, neither expected that a simple conversation could lead to a day of deep connection and heartache. Told from multiple points of view, including those of the people whom Daniel and Natasha meet throughout the day, Yoon creates a tale of how interwoven all our lives are and how our everyday simple interactions can change the course of fate for better or worse.

![]() Rap-loving Indian-Gujurati teen Rani tries to make her mark on the hip-hop scene on the Hawaiian island of Moloka’i. Her mom is exhausted trying to run a local grocery store and the only Indian food joint in town while her dad is off chasing another woman. Rani has two choices - being the obedient Indian daughter, swallowing her anger like her mom or rebelling and exposing her dad’s betrayal and the wounds she has suffered at his hands. As she pours her rage into raps, she attracts the attention of an older man, Mark, who offers her the opportunity to perform as MC Sutra at a local hip-hop festival. Her friends warn her against getting romantically involved with Mark. But ultimately it is this relationship and her father’s betrayal that finally helps Rani realize how strong, important, and necessary her voice is. |
