India, Jan. 30 -- Love is worth the fight. Despite the incessant pressures from family, the need to prove one's worth, and the harsh socio-political realities of survival. Love is the answer. Bedford Park, the wonderful new film from Stephanie Ahn, playing at Sundance Film Festival, understands this.

Here, we meet Audrey (Moon Choi), but there's nothing wrong with her at the outset, except the intense disorientation of how her life has turned out to be. She is a Korean-American physical therapist who uses the app for rough sex, even if it threatens her ability to bear children. A chance accident bumps her into Eli (Son Sukku), who is hardened by his own circumstances. He is a local security guard who is finishing school.

Their encounter...
