Sparing and prosaic, Pik-Sheun Fung's "Ghost Forest" is a touching ode to immigrant families and the sacrifices they must make. Separated from her father from a young age, Pik-Sheun Fung has difficulty making a connection with this seemingly distant man in her adulthood. Told in halting, overlapping stories, Pik-Sheun mines the depths of her mother's and grandmother's past to build a connection to the present. "Ghost Forest" is a delicately wrought reckoning, a portrait of an imperfect father and daughter and an ode to the love that binds them.
