Julie Tieu sparkles in this debut romantic comedy,
which is charmingly reminiscent of the TV show Kim's Convenience and Frankly
in Love by David Yoon, about a young woman who feels caught in the life her
parents have made for her until she falls in love and finds a way out of the
donut trap.
Jasmine
Tran has landed herself behind bars--maple bars that is. With no boyfriend or
job prospects, Jasmine returns home to work at her parents' donut shop. Jasmine
quickly loses herself in a cyclical routine of donuts, Netflix, and sleep. She
wants to break free from her daily grind, but when a hike in rent threatens the
survival of their shop, her parents rely on her more than ever.
Help
comes in the form of an old college crush, Alex Lai. Not only is he successful
and easy on the eyes, to her parents' delight, he's also Chinese. He's
everything she should wish for, until a disastrous dinner reveals Alex isn't as
perfect as she thinks. Worse, he doesn't think she's perfect either.
With
both sets of parents against their relationship, a family legacy about to shut
down, and the reappearance of an old high school flame, Jasmine must scheme to
find a solution that satisfies her family's expectations and can get her out of
the donut trap once and for all.
