SYNOPSIS

Hope struggles with grief after Mac, her butch girlfriend, passes away and must overcome homophobic hostilities from her dead girlfriend¡¯s family in order to respectfully send Mac off into the afterlife in the way she would¡¯ve wanted.

Hope is deeply saddened by the death of her partner Mac. Even before she has enough time to mourn, Mac¡¯s family and she have disagreements in each and every case. Mac¡¯s homophobic parents are desperate to hide the existence of hope from neighborhoods, and tries to put on a colorful makeup and dress on Mac who was a butch. Finally Hope and her colleagues decide to break into the morgue to have a proper sendoff to Mac. This film describes an absurd situation in which a butch lesbian cannot be what she is even after her death due to the family¡¯s homophobic aversion. That is what makes the last scene of this film sadder, but more satisfying. Vámonos! Let¡¯s go! (CHO HyeYoung)
