"Resting Place"

Synopsis:

Kim’s Convenience tells the funny and heartfelt story of the Kim family. Mr. and Mrs. Kim are Korean Canadian convenience store owners who have worked hard to give their now-twenty-something children, Janet and Jung, a better life in Canada. This single camera comedy finds laughter in the trials of running a literal ‘Mom and Pop’ shop while raising kids in a culture not quite your own. A money-saving decision from Appa’s past comes back to haunt him and Umma. Gerald is uncomfortable with Janet’s noisy habits. Jung goes into damage control after being upstaged by Kimchee at work.
