The 2021 book “Crying at H Mart” by Michelle Zauner will be turned into a feature film under the direction of Will Sharpe, who won over audiences with “The White Lotus.”

The focus of Zauner’s book is her relationship with her mother, who passed away from cancer in 2014, and her Korean background. Zauner, who is best known as the lead singer of the indie-pop band Japanese Breakfast, is rewriting the screenplay and contributing to the soundtrack of the movie.

“Crying in H Mart” is a “coming-of-age story about a half-Korean daughter who returns to small town Oregon to care for her Korean mother,” according to the official synopsis from MGM, who is financing the film.

By the transformative power of music and the vivid aromas of Korean cuisine, critical and suffocating Chong-mi and creative and independent Michelle finally come to see and accept one another across a cultural divide.

“There were lots of things that resonated with me as somebody who is half-Japanese, half-British, spent my childhood in Tokyo,” Sharpe told People, which first reported the news of his directorial efforts. “Some of the descriptions of being jet-lagged in your family’s kitchen felt very familiar to me.”

Stacey Sher is producing the “Crying in H Mart” adaptation along with Jason Kim.
