Miso Soup (2026)

Reiko, a college student, signs up for a Japanese-language course hoping to reconnect with her cultural roots. But as the lessons progress, she starts struggling to keep pace and wrestles with a nagging sense that she doesn’t truly belong to the heritage she’s trying to claim. Forced to confront what it means to carry two worlds inside her, Reiko embarks on a personal journey to reconcile the parts of herself that feel split—and to redefine belonging on her own terms.
