Devils In The Bush

Devils in the Bush, through a collection of phone calls, follows Fei, a young Korean woman navigating a newfound love, and the distance between herself and home. Over the course of a sweltering summer, tensions arise within her relationship as she moves through intimate moments and acts of self-destruction. As a long-awaited reunion with her mother approaches, Fei finds herself caught between the life she has built for herself and the one she left behind.
