Frankly in Love

High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo — his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents’ traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance — “Date Korean” — which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful — and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they’ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it’s the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy’s fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love — or himself — at all.
