This film is part of the Silk Screen Film Festival. Admission is free to Pitt students with an ID. Shy, closeted Korean-American teenager David must find a job to pay for his expensive SAT classes when his parents begin to struggle financially. David takes a position at a Korean spa his parents frequent for traditional scrubs, but the teenager soon discovers that there is much more to the spa than initially meets the eye. Shot on location in Los Angeles’ Koreatown, Spa Night dips its introverted lead into the sensual waters of the underground spa life. David’s discovery of this new world of sex and intrigue simultaneously frightens and excites him.
