MIDWEST PREMIERE. After his estranged scholar father falls into a coma, Jin (JOHN CHO) reluctantly comes to a small Midwestern college town to be with him. What he finds there is a surprising city full of modernist architecture – and Casey (HALEY LU RICHARDSON), a thoughtful girl stuck in a holding pattern after graduating from high school. Casey loves her hometown and is reluctant to leave her simple life with her mother, a recovering drug addict. She instead spends her days studying the history of the stunning buildings around her and shelving books at the local library. Jin and Casey strike up casual conversations on a few lazy, lovely days, surrounded by the haze and pause of a late Indiana summer. The first feature film from renowned film editor and essayist KOGONADA, Columbus is a moving tale of the connection we feel to the structures that surround us and to the people we meet during times of change.
