Mongrels (2026)

Mongrels is a Canadian drama by Jerome Yoo that follows a Korean family who immigrates to the Canadian prairies in 1991. The family arrives carrying the weight of grief while taking on work connected to the area's feral-dog population.

The film uses the rural setting to explore immigration, family identity, loneliness and growing up in an unfamiliar environment. The children experience the new country differently from their father, creating several overlapping perspectives on belonging and the meaning of home.
