The Motel
(2005)
Country: USA
Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Ernest Chin is the first-generation son in a family of Chinese immigrants; he lives in a sleazy motel run by his hardworking, dour mother who discourages his interests in writing and girls. She believes that Ernest needs to appreciate what he has at home, and give up his dreams that threaten nothing but heartache--the viewer infers that this is what became of her own dreams. When a brash, hard-drinking, womanizing young Korean man named Sam moves into the motel, Ernest forms an unlikely bond with him, as each finds in the other something he desperately needs. Sam seeks out the fatherless boy, sensing a need for guidance and companionship that mirrors his own.
