Ms. Purple

synopsis

In the dark karaoke rooms of Los Angeles's Koreatown stripmalls, Kasie works as a doumi girl, a young hostess paid to cater to rich businessmen's capricious whims. As she struggles to hide her sorrow through soju- and MDMA-fueled nights, her mind is focused on one thing: earning enough tips to continue providing for her bedridden father. When her father's caretaker unexpectedly quits, Kasie seeks help from her estranged brother, and the siblings are forced to reconnect and reconcile the suppressed trauma that lead to their separation.
