This is the story of how one woman heals after betrayal. I stumbled upon this movie on Netflix--under the foreign film section for some reason, but the movie is in English and set in New York, so I'm not sure what that was about. Because of the title I thought maybe it was a Christian film, but I wasn't able to confirm that till almost halfway through the movie. It was refreshing to see a multi-ethnic cast with an Asian female in the lead, but the movie is not about race. Instead it is about the universal themes of love, betrayal, friendship, divorce, and one additional theme missed in non inspirational films--forgiveness. We all can relate to these if we're human. If Hollywood would deliver more diverse content, perspectives, and casting such as this instead of the manufactured processed crap that they feed us, I would spend more money at the box office . Very well done, Sharon Kon! I hope to see more of your work in the future.
