Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee’s expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min’s grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.
“This is what real love and family look like. In a time when half the country is trying to dictate what families can look like, The Wedding Banquet throws all of that out with its radical approach to love, connection, and joy. We can all build a family that feels right for ourselves.” ~ Mey Rude, OUT Magazine
