Columbus
U.S. Release Date: August 4
The Plot: When a renowned architecture scholar falls suddenly ill during a speaking tour, his son Jin finds himself stranded at home in Columbus, Indiana. Jin strikes up a friendship with Casey, a young architecture enthusiast who works at the local library. As their intimacy develops, Jin and Casey explore both the town and their conflicted emotions: Jin's estranged relationship with his father, and Casey's reluctance to leave Columbus and her mother.
