Go Seo Jin, a newly immigrated Korean father struggles to work the English GPS as his wife and son uncomfortably judge his every action. With clicking random buttons and scrolling through random outputs, the family ends up in a restaurant. Seo Jin practices his English and goes into the sandwich shop only to be terrified of the English language. He can’t understand a thing. Meanwhile, Go Min Jung tries to entertain their son, Go Young Jae. Seo Jin comes back with nothing, only to be kicked and receive a tantrum from his son. Seo Jin, despite fear, goes back into the sandwich shop and stares as his fear completely envelops him. Seo Jin steps out and throws his dictionary away and thinks. Moments later, Seo Jin succeeds and celebrates a small victory in the harsh reality of the immigrant experience.
