Storyline
In a slow restaurant lineup, a language barrier becomes an opportunity for a mother and daughter to bond. A rude patron targets the mother's struggle with English and begins to harass her. However, resilience triumphs as the daughter courageously defends her mom, leaving the harasser silenced. The question remains: Will empathy prevail over ignorance in the face of adversity?
