Columbus

Columbus

(2017)

In the heart of Ohio lies the vibrant city of Columbus, a melting pot of culture, ambition, and the quest for belonging. “Columbus” follows the intertwining lives of two unlikely companions: Jin, a disillusioned Korean architect who arrives in the city to care for his estranged father, and Casey, a passionate young woman stuck in a rut, yearning for a life beyond the familiar confines of her routine existence.

As they traverse the stunning landscapes of modernist architecture, art installations, and urban parks that Columbus has to offer, Jin and Casey embark on a journey of self-discovery. Jin, grappling with his father’s unresolved issues and the weight of familial expectations, finds solace in Casey’s unfiltered perspective on life. Meanwhile, Casey, who has devoted her energy to tending coffee shops and endless daydreams, discovers a spark of creativity that she thought she had lost amidst her mundane reality.

Bound by a shared sense of isolation and purpose, they explore the complexities of their existence. Their conversations weave through philosophical musings about hope, dreams, and the ties that bind us to our roots. As Jin grapples with the ghosts of his past, he begins to see the city not just as a transient stop but as a canvas for rebuilding his future. Casey’s fervent desire to break free leads them to explore hidden gems and secret spots around the city that reflect their innermost yearnings.

The rhythm of their connection deepens as they confront their fears, learning to navigate love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of change. Underneath the stark beauty of Columbus’s architecture lies a narrative that compels them to reconsider their paths—one of the heart, the other of the mind.

Set against a backdrop of Columbus’s skyline, “Columbus” is a poignant exploration of identity and the crossroads of two lives caught in the search for purpose. This uplifting dramedy captures the essence of connection in a world that often feels apart, highlighting the beauty in both cities and the uncharted territories within ourselves. As Jin and Casey’s lives begin to entwine, they find that sometimes, home isn’t a place but the people we share it with.
