Two Thai‑American siblings stumble through the uneasy passage into adulthood in the wake of their mother’s death. Shot on grainy 16mm, Softshell captures flickers of tension and tenderness as Jamie (Caledonia Abbey) and Narin (Legyaan Thapa) wrestle with grief, cultural identity, and the messiness of love. This debut from director Jinho Myung mixes humor with melancholy, crafting an intimate portrait of family and the quiet, unspoken bonds that hold us together.
