SYNOPSIS

During the coronavirus lockdown in the US, an immigrant couple from South Korea is quarantined thousands of miles away from their home country. On top of the pandemic, President Trump announces an anti-immigration policy that restricts the couple from leaving the States. Literally "stuck" at home, the filmmaker records her thoughts and feelings while helplessly looking out the window, waiting for a letter that will allow the couple to return home.
